What is Hapkido

"Hapkido, "The Art of Coordinated Power," is a Korean martial art that was founded by Choi, Yong-Sool in the mid to late 40's which has a huge following as a practical and extremely effective method of self-defense known it for its ability to control and subdue an attacker through the use of unbalancing the attacker, joint locks, and extensive use of pressure points. Hapkido's techniques do not require great size or strength to be delivered effectively. The philosophy, principles, and techniques are keys of power and confidence to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually regardless of age, sex, or physical strength.

"Hapkido, a scientific martial art which is the Korean offspring of Daito-Ryu-Aikijujutsu. Its every aspect is geared towards the single purpose of incapacitating an attacker in the quickest, most efficient, and thorough manner possible. The techniques use physics, geometry, phychology, and physiology. The results of the techniques are evasion, immobilzation [pins], and projection [throws]". - Master Jeff Allen
