Hapkido is a holistic Korean martial art that incorporates strikes, kicks, ground fighting, and weapons training. It is very broad and a great way to get fit, learn self-defence and become part of an awesome community. If you are interested, check out our comparison to other styles here. 

If you are a beginner starting martial arts—whether as an adult or a child—it can feel a little daunting, so we'll pair you up with a buddy to get you going. We offer free trial classes so you can try us out.

Your typical class will involve some fitness, kicking and punching pads, technical self-defence work (joint locking and takedowns) and when you are ready, some controlled sparring.  It's a great workout and a pragmatic way to build your confidence and self-defence skills. 

Established in Kingsland, Auckland, in 2002, our club teaches classes for both children and adults and we welcome you to visit us for a free trial class. All of our classes are taught with respect and good humour, even when we're training hard. Hapkido is suitable for people of any age to learn and is excellent for fitness, strength, self-defence, and enjoyment.
