ADULTS HAPKIDO
HapKiDo is one of the most formidable martial arts in the world today. Adults training in HapKido learn one of the most progressive systems of martial arts in the world today. Our Adults HapKiDo syllabus is a progressive syllabus, this means that once a student grades to a higher belt level, they can expect to learn a more advanced version of a technique already learnt on the previous belt. This system is a way to advance students to a higher level of ability then ever thought possible.
Through the higher belt ranks students are taught to deal with multiple grabs, knife, punch and kick attacks to give them a higher level of realistic self defence skills.
To achieve a black belt in HapKiDo is not easy, it takes many years of hard training, dedication and commitment but those who achieve their black belt all agree, it’s a journey well taking.
YOUR CHILD WILL LOVE LEARNING HAPKIDO
HapKiDo is one of the most comprehensive systems found in the world today. HapKiDo has a wide variety of techniques to keep everyone satisfied and our Instructors love teaching your children. Steve Perceval has been teaching kids for over 20 years and believes that kids should have fun while learning martial arts but at the same time maintaining discipline and teaching them respect.
WE ARE NOT A BABY SITTING SERVICE
We understands the value of teaching kids martial arts and even though they are taught a modified syllabus to the adults, they are still learning many of the same techniques. We include basic Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and less grab escapes at junior belts levels. The reason for the difference is that young children do not have the same capacity for learning intricate techniques as those needed for grab escapes.
Why learn HapKiDo?
Why learn HapKiDo? because HapKiDo is an amazing style of martial arts which has a variety of techniques to suit anyone plus it’s fun to learn.
HapKiDo is more then kicking and punching it incorporates both traditional and street practical techniques and is the perfect blend for self defence. Some traditional aspects taught in the centre will never be used in a real street situation but these techniques are important to teach self discipline, balance and to build a strong foundation. Traditional techniques teach students proper fundamentals, ability or confidence. A student can also expect an improvement in their overall health and fitness which can all be gained with regular practice and training.
HapKiDo incorporates many techniques such as;
- Dynamic and street practical kicking techniques
- Painful joint Locks and Restraining techniques
- A variety of Throws & Sweeps
- Safety rolls & Break falls
- A variety of Hand & Fist techniques
- Pressure point & Weaponry techniques
HapKiDo has a diverse range of techniques making it a very powerful self defence system
Senior ranked students may become more specialised in certain area’s and techniques e.g. Some people are naturally more flexible in joints and muscles so they usually become stronger at the dynamic kicking techniques while other students who are not as flexible may become stronger in area’s of locks, throws and restraints. We understand some people have limitations and may not be able to perform as well as others but that is not an excuse to give up, we push everyone to improve and become the best martial artist they can be.
