There are many reasons why people look to learn a martial art. The most obvious is self-defense, but there are many other benefits including increased confidence, reduced stress and improved fitness. Greater strength and flexibility as well as emotional and spiritual growth are also reasons why people pursue martial arts training.
For over 40 years, the Hapkido Tae Kwon Do Institute has been training men, women and children of all ages. In addition to our regular classes, we also train law enforcement officers, campus safety departments, corrections officers, executive protection agents and others on effective self-defense techniques via hands-on workshops and seminars.
Personal protection is your right and your responsibility. Everyone deserves to learn simple, effective self-defense techniques that will protect you and your family from those who would do you harm. Preparation is the secret to peace-of-mind. If you are prepared, you are ready. When you are prepared, there is no worry, stress or paranoia. No matter what the situation, you can approach it with confidence and commitment because you have been trained on what to do.
It may not a comfortable subject, but personal safety is more important than ever today. Random acts of violence can and do occur in many public places such as stores, schools, malls, movie theaters, places of worship, concerts, bars, and parades. Additionally, violence can follow us home in the form of home invasions, kidnapping or burglaries – no where is off-limits and no one is immune.

Traditional classes begin with a 10-minute warmup that includes stretching, calisthenics, strengthening exercises and a variety of hand and kicking techniques. From there, we dive into specific self-defense techniques based on the student’s level and the content of that particular class, workshop or seminar. Techniques are comprised of a wide variety of blocks, strikes, and kicks based on taekwondo and also various escapes, joint locks, and throws based on hapkido. The blending of both a “hard style” martial art (taekwondo), and a “soft-style” martial art (hapkido), gives our students a perfect blend of techniques that can be applied as needed to a given situation.
Learning exactly what you need to based on your goals is what we are all about at the Hapkido Tae Kwon Do Institute. Our instruction is rooted in a 3000 yr-old traditional martial arts curriculum that has been updated to include modern self-defense techniques taken from a variety of other martial arts and military self-defense programs.
