What is Hapkido?

Short answer: Hapkido is an ecclectic martial arts discipline with a coheasive set of principles that explore the relationship between physiology and self defense.

Besides that, it incorporates striking, kicking, throwing, joint locks, take-downs, chokes, traditional weapons, etc; as tools in exploring this relationship.

Self defense is simply one of the many by-products of martial arts training – not the only focus in how we practice Hapkido.

At its core, the art embodies a holistic approach to mind-body fitness, personal growth, and self protection.

Is this an MMA or BJJ type of school?

Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ) and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) are popular systems taught at many martial arts Toronto schools.

Although Hapkido is a Korean form of Jiu Jitsu (originated in Japan), and shares many components of mixed martial arts – striking, takedowns, submissions, ground-fighting, etc – our martial arts training is not mma 🙂

T.H.A teaches self defense skills that are safe, progressive, and practical for the everyday adult member.

Furthermore, at our martial arts Toronto Evoke Academy dojo, we embrace a progressive and street-smart approach to self protection training.

There are beginners (never done any type of exercise at all) to high level athletes and black belts at this martial arts Toronto school.

The life-changing benefits reach far beyond pragmatic assumptions of fighting abilities or invincibility.

While gaining formidable self defense skills, you will also discover a newly found sense of awareness, confidence, stress relief, and control.
