Kingsland Martial Arts runs three training sessions each week for most of the year. 

• Adults classes run on Monday & Wednesday evenings 7.30-9pm, 
• Each session will run over some fitness, striking (kicking and punching) and self defence
• Beginners are paired with a senior to make the introduction to the style easier

• Martial arts classes for children which are run on a Saturday afternoon during each school term 1-4pm depending on which group you are in.
• Children's classes are more fun based, there is movement, fitness, technique and a little bit of sparring.  This builds confidence, resilience and discipline

Our style is called Hapkido, a form of martial art developed in Korea which shares much of its heritage with other styles such as Juijitsu, Taekwondo, and Aikido.

Although we retain some of the ceremony and values of traditional martial arts, all of our classes are taught in English in a relaxed atmosphere. We ask members to train hard, but with respect and care for each other. Our emphasis is on learning and growing as individuals in a supportive club environment.

Self-defence vs. Sport

Our focus has always been on self-defence - techniques to protect yourself and others when a non-violent outcome was impossible. In recent years we've also taken part in tournaments both at our own club and throughout New Zealand. Tournaments present another challenge for students and are a great way to express your skills and take on challengers in a much safer environment! We believe strongly that training for one strengthens the other.
