How to join


We invite you or your children to attend several complimentary orientation classes in the class you are interested in joining.

We offer up to 2 classes of these classes for Tigers, Sword and Hapkido students and up to 3 classes for Dragons students before you decide whether you want to join. 

When you first come along to try out one of our classes, you can wear normal gym clothes or light loose-fitting sports clothing.
 

During the class, an instructor will give you some one-on-one training and ask you about what you want to achieve out of Hapkido. This will allow us to focus on areas specific to your goals as you start your journey with us.

Please contact Callum at callum@hapkido.co.nz or phone/text 021 330 989.
If he doesn't answer his phone, please leave a message or send a text. If you are calling from a private number, please send a text with a number to call you on.

Alternatively, you can download our new student questionnaire and bring it to your orientation class. 

After your orientation class, you will have a good idea of whether our academy is a good fit for you or your children. If you are undecided, you can try one more class, after which you can decide whether to join. 

If you have had an orientation class and want to join, you can download our membership application or pick one up at the Academy.
