About
Hwa Won Yue Hapkido Martial Arts Academy in Mount Hope offers classes in the dynamic and eclectic Korean martial art of Hapkido. Taught by Grand Master Cha, students will learn a variety of self-defence techniques including joint locks, pressure points, throws, kicks, and strikes. The classes also include training in traditional weapons such as short sticks, canes, nun-chucks, swords, and staff, depending on the particular tradition being studied.
Hapkido emphasizes circular motion, non-resisting movements, and controlling the opponent through leverage and footwork, rather than strength against strength. Grand Master Cha, who has over 40 years of experience in martial arts, incorporates the concept of understanding into his teaching style, ensuring a well-rounded and effective learning experience for all students.
The academy offers classes for both adults and children, with a range of belt levels from beginners to advanced practitioners. In addition to self-defence techniques, classes also cover striking, joint locks, chokes, escapes, groundwork, and traditional weapon training. The academy's belt promotion system ensures students progress through the ranks as they improve their skills and knowledge of Hapkido.
Whether you are looking to improve your self-defence skills, increase your physical fitness, or simply learn a new martial art, Hwa Won Yue Hapkido Martial Arts Academy in Mount Hope provides a welcoming and supportive environment for students of all ages and abilities. Join us today and start your journey in the ancient art of Hapkido.
