To achieve this, we offer a variety of different classes so everyone can find a class that fits them. Not sure which class is the right fit for you or your child?

| | | | | | | | | | | "The way of harmonic energy", Hapkido is a highly sophisticated martial art, based on mirroring and redirecting an opponent's "Ki" or energy. Joint manipulation, pressure points and circular motion are the characteristic tools of Hapkido.
Hapkido teaches that we must protect our opponent as well as ourselves; ideally we must endeavor to immobilize an act of aggression without injury to the attacker or the attacked.

| | | | | | | | | | | | This program is the equivalent of the Chinese Tai Chi Chuan.
Like Tai Chi Chuan, Gentle Do can be described as a form of moving yoga and meditation combined. It consists of a series of movements derived from Korean martial arts; however, they are preformed slowly, softly, and gracefully, with smooth transitions between each position of the activity. Great emphasis is placed on the breath and focus of the mind.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Earn a Black Belt in a traditional martial art based on the mighty combinations of Taekwondo, Hapkido and Judo.
Taekwondo, the popular new Olympic event, is known for its powerful kicking and striking techniques.
Hapkido is a highly sophisticated martial art based on mirroring and redirecting an opponent's energy. Joint manipulation, pressure points, and circular motion are the characteristic tools of Hapkido.
Judo is an age-old art that is best summed up in the axiom 'maximum effect for minimum effort.' Here we learn to use our bodies leverage to overcome our opponents.
More than just a system of self-defense, our program becomes a way of life, which promotes social responsibility, inner harmony, physical health and personal excellence. All of this is accomplished in a positive atmosphere of excitement and fun.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Aikido ("ai" - harmony, "ki" - energy, "do" - path or way) is a Japanese defensive martial art founded by Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969). Aikido focuses on circular movements to avoid and redirect an assailant's attack. Aikidoists use the attacker's force to unbalance and neutralize an assault by executing throwing techniques, arm pins, and wrist and elbow locks. Aikido does not emphasize strength. The techniques rely on the relaxed projection of energy generated by rotating the hips.
