Our Children's class is suited for kids 7 to 12 years of age. The activities are designed to give them confidence in themselves as the build on their Hapkido skills. They practice with children of their age group to make the learning experience enjoyable.
Hapkido is a complete self-defense system. It incorporates the redirection of force found in Aikido, the devastating joint locks and throws found in Aikijutsu, and Judo techniques that include various chokes, sweeps, joint locks, and other grappling techniques. It also incorporates the kicking technique of Taekwondo and the ancient Korean Art of Taekyon, and the punching and blocking of karate. Hapkido also incorporates both "hard" and "soft" techniques as found in many Chinese Kung Fu systems.
To fully understand the true meaning of Hapkido, we must understand what each word means. "Hap" means harmony, unity, coordination, together, or concentrated. "Ki" means energy, inner power or cosmic force. "Do" means art, way of, achieve, or execute. Literally translated, Hapkido means "The Art of Coordinated Power".
