Hapkido Syllabus

Classes are rigorous and have a traditional focus on mastering the basics as the foundation for developing advanced technique.  Emphasis is placed on Ki and the philosophy of Hapkido as well as becoming physically skilled.  Students work their way through a syllabus, each level requiring proficiency in self-defence techniques, hand and kicking skills and various movement patterns.

In addition to our standard syllabus, we run monthly spotlight classes and special seminars/master classes throughout the year.
