In short Hap Ki-Do means the art of power coordination.

Hap Ki-Do's basic techniques consist of kicking, striking, joint manipulation (breaking throws and locks), both soft and hard blocks, nerve and muscle pressure attacks, and variety of practical weapons (such as clubs, knifes, swords and guns).

Although our primary focus is Hap Ki Do, students of The Korean Martial Arts School will also learn techniques from the following Arts:

Tae Kwon Do Tae means "foot" or "leg" Kwon means "fist" and Do means the "way" or "life". Thus, Tae Kwon Do can be understood to be simply the "way of hand and foot". Tae Kwon Do is the use of strikes or “hard” style self defense. Koreans developed this Tae Kwon Do for unarmed self defense to complement their skills with weapons over 2000 years ago.

Ju Do Ju Do means to use the “soft” style, by grappling and throwing the opponent to the ground. Our classes focus on Hap Ki Do but students will also be shown how Ju Do moves the energy in the opponent’s body. Ju Do originates from late 19th century Japan and was adopted by Koreans during the Japanese occupation of the early 20th century.

Kum Sul Do Kum Sul Do uses a variety of weapons traditional for Korean Warriors. Students learn to a variety of weapons so that they can better understand how to defend themselves against them.
