About Combat Hapkido
Combat Hapkido is a 100% self-defense-focused martial art that excludes forms (Kata/Hyungs) and emphasizes kicks aimed at the lower body, avoiding acrobatic techniques.
It incorporates controlled break falls and throws minimally, while omitting hard blocks, stances, and traditional weapon training like swords or fans; instead, the curriculum covers self-defense tools such as canes, short sticks, and belts.
This comprehensive discipline includes specialized techniques for disarming firearms and a robust ground defense program. As a flexible and dynamic system, Combat Hapkido constantly evolves.
Notably, it's not a sport and remains unaltered by competition or tournaments, prioritizing practical self-defense over competition.
