The Art of Self Defense and Coordinated Power
Hapkido: is the art of coordinated power; an electric art that encompasses Striking-Kicking-Blocking-Throwing-Pressure Points-Joint Locks-Immobilization-Weapons-Takedowns-Rolls-Falls and most of all Awareness. Hapkido focuses on what happens “in the street” and is therefore not a competitive art.

Hapkido Philosophy:
HAP:” harmony” or “coming together” or “coordinating”
KI: “universal life force” or “energy”

Thus, the name Hapkido is felt to symbolize the idea of “becoming at one with the universe or harmonizing mind, body, and spirit with nature”
