We are proud to announce that in 2024 we are celebrating our 40th Anniversary!
Over the past four decades, well over 1,000 students have trained at our school. We are one of the oldest in the county…and in the state of Pennsylvania!
The instructors at the Institute are equally capable of training children and adults, men and women, young and old. We tailor training and techniques to the abilities of our students and revolve around a “core” curriculum. This well-established, structured training has been combined from the teachings of three different Korean Grandmasters by the school’s current Grandmaster Vince Sperduto, 8th Dan (Hapkido and TaeKwonDo).
We offer the following training and martial arts disciplines:
- Hapkido: This “soft style” martial art teaches you to use your opponent’s attack and energy against them. It is well-suited for men, women, children and the elderly since it can be done at any age.
- Taekwondo: A “hard style” martial art known for devastating kicks, it is a great way to reduce stress and get fit while learning valuable skills.
- Self-Defense: Surviving an encounter in the street, at home or on the go is essential for your safety. These are life-or-death skills used for survival only. Must be 21 or older to participate.
- College Student Safety: Campus can be a dangerous place if you’re not careful. Protect yourself at all times and arm yourself with awareness. Learn more about staying safe at college and around campus by checking out Master Pete’s comprehensive book, “The Ultimate Guide To College Safety: How to Protect Your Child At College & Around Campus” – available at Amazon. You can also learn more at his site, https://CampusSafetyUniversity.com.
- Home Invasion Preparation: Violent times, unchecked illegal immigration and chaos in the streets mean you need to protect your home or business from rioters and looters and from common criminals. Learn how with this specialized training.
- Law Enforcement Training: First responders such as police, military, campus safety and security officers have a duty to protect others and must know how to defend themselves. We teach effective, non-violent restraints, PR24 control baton use, monondock use, handcuffing techniques, pepper spray deployment as well as simple, effective self-defense techniques that can be learned in minutes, not months.
- Seminars: Inquire about self-defense seminars for your organization. We can pack a lot into just a few hours for you.
- Speaking: We are able to speak at your business, school or conference about a variety of topics including workplace violence, active shooter survival, online cyber threats, corporate security, warrior mindset development, becoming “armed with awarenness™” and other topics.
