Hapkido is a "soft" martial art, in comparison to other "hard" forms such as Karate and Taekwondo. It is distinctive in that it employs a totally defensive philosophy and posture, rather than attacking, aggressive tactics typical of other martial arts. The Hapkido practitioner, employing this defensive posture, can defend himself successfully against aggressive attacks using only his hands. This is to say the enemy can be controlled by purely defensive means.
Do you have a story you'd like to share with us? If so, please share your story.
"I started studying Hapkido with Master Lee about 2 years ago with my 16 year old son Joe. It turned out to be the best thing we had ever done together, we both got into great shape and Joe became more outgoing, less shy and he gained a lot of self confidence."
-Peter Kohut
"I lost over 20 pounds and with the Special Breathing exercises, and I feel calmer and more focused on my daily activities. I am so convinced of the benefits that I am enrolling my son in the school."
-Gerard Bu
"I e-mailed him and he invited us to visit the school. After visiting school and talking to his students, four us joined that evening. Ever since then, I’m glad I did, I have lost twelve pounds since that day. I’ve became physically fit and more alert. It even helped my short game in golf."
