JEONG DO KWAN HAPKIDO

The formal art of Hapkido, with its extensive curriculum can be a lifelong pursuit. The Jeong Do Kwan Hapkido seeks to take the most essential principles and techniques of the martial art of Hapkido and present them in a streamlined, modern defensive tactics system. The system is designed to offer faster route to practical self-defense skills than traditional Hapkido while offering a more robust curriculum than a simple self-defense course. The program will train students in the fundamentals of standing and ground combat as well as weaponry such as the stick and knife. Jeong Do Kwan Hapkido is a modern interpretation of Hapkido focused solely on self-defense.  

Author Henry Lee, in his article “The Invincible Sulsa” states that “Jeong do is the "way of the true sword." It means fighting in battle with honor and dignity, dueling to the death, never retreating in the face of the enemy, and dying if one must.” The system does not incorporate certain techniques found in traditional Hapkido such as acrobatic break falls, Arial kicking, or archaic weapons.  Students will learn practical hand to hand combat skills as well as easily accessible weaponry.
