Hapkido is a Korean self-defense and self-improvement art. This style is one of the largest martial arts techniques that incorporates a variety of techniques. Hapkido students study kicks, punches, pressure points, joint manipulations, throws, and a wealth of other martial arts skills while acquiring the added benefits of self-confidence, conditioning, and a balanced lifestyle

Hapkido does not require techniques or katas. Instead, a student builds an arsenal of moves designed to manipulate an opponent by pain enforcement, offering a non-injurious solution as the first defense line. The primary aim is to finish fighting as quickly and effectively as possible.

A very relaxed, free-flowing style, Hapkido relies more on spontaneous reflexive action and the ability to react to a given situation instead of memorizing a set of static positions and unrealistic movements.
