I teach and train in Hapkido. ( hap ki do or hapki-do ) it is a dynamic Korean martial art. It is a form of self-defence that employs joint locking techniques, it also includes kicks, punches, and other striking attacks and defences. Also at higher levels traditional weapons are used, such as sword, knife, rope, nunchaku, cane, short stick (Dan-bong), and staff (gun, bō) as well as modern day items improvised weaponry keys, mobile phones pens or pencils bags anything to hand etc.

Hapkido contains both long and close range fighting techniques, utilizing kicks and percussive hand strikes at longer ranges and accu- pressure point strikes, joint locks, or throws at closer fighting distances. Hapkido emphasizes circular motion, non-resisting movements, and control of the opponent. Practitioners seek to gain advantage through footwork and body positioning to incorporate the use of leverage, reducing the need for the use of strength against strength. It is not a sport it is a most effective and powerful Martial art and self defence.
