What is Hapkido?

Hapkido is a Korean martial arts system that incorporates striking, kicking, throwing, joint locks, take-downs, chokes, and traditional weapons.

It teaches a coheasive set of principles that explores the relationship of human physiology and self defense.

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

Is this MMA or BJJ type training?

Not quite.

BJJ and MMA are common terms many think of when discribing Toronto self defense schools.

Although Hapkido is a Jiu Jitsu type martial art that is Korean, the techniques differ in focus. It has its roots from Japan, and shares similar techniques to what is seen in today’s mixed martial arts training.

To be clear – we are not an mma school 🙂

Can I come watch a class?

Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, we have restricted access to classes.

None-the-less, we are happy to schedule a visit to – off hours – check out the school or meet with a member of our staff.
