TRIDENT HAPKIDO

Note: these classes are for ages 8 years and older

Hapkido is a Korean martial art that was derived from the samurai’s martial art of Daito Ryu Aiki-Jutsu but is designed for today’s environment. Hapkido classes focuses solely on self defence (there are no competitions) so we will practice a variety of defences against punches and kicks, various grabs (wrist, arm, hair, lapel, collar, etc.), takedowns and throws, ground defences, control techniques, etc. with an emphasis on the participant’s abilities.

We emphasize fun and respect for everyone while training!!

We firmly believe in each person’s own individuality. We are not trying to create mirror images of ourselves; simply put, we want everyone who participates in our programs to feel like they take our techniques and make them work for themselves.

We do not employ flashy, high kicks or acrobatic breakfalls - we focus on what will work on the street. In short, Trident Hapkido is great for everyone regardless of their gender, age, nationality, previous experience, athlectic ability, etc.
