MARTIAL ARTS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
About Us
We are a family-focused martial arts school in the centre of Upper Hutt.
We offer a range of martial arts classes for children, teens and adults of all ages.
Our Academy culture is relaxed and friendly. Our mission is to help you and your family to achieve your own martial arts/self-defence goals and to realise your own potential.
We have a strong team of experienced Instructors - details of them can be found on our Instructors sub-page on the About Hapkido page. You will find that we offer much more than just martial arts and self-defence training and we would like you to join our family.
So come along and try out an Orientation Class for you or your children and begin your own martial arts journey.
All of our classes are run at our modern, owner-occupied martial arts studio in the centre of Upper Hutt. Further information Here.
Our Core Classes
Hapkido for Adults and Teens
Hapkido is self-defence focused but training in Hapkido will also increase your physical abilities - stamina, strength, and flexibility - as well as your mental awareness and self-confidence.

Hapkido Dragons for Children aged 5 to 6

Other Classes
We run several other classes that compliment Hapkido to allow you to go deeper into areas that are only covered lightly in the main Hapkido syllabus. These are "Ground Combatives", "Pressure Point Combatives" and "Principals of the Sword". Once you have attained the relevant grade requirement in Hapkido you may join any of these classes.
Academy Update January 2021
2021 - The Year Ahead
2020 was a challenging year for all concerned and martial arts schools had their own fair share of challenges. For us this included having to cancel our 3rd Oceania Cup and Hapkido Festival which was scheduled for last September. This is an international event featuring New Zealand and South Korean martial artists.
We also had to cancel specialist Hapkido, Ground Fighting and Pressure Point seminars from our Australian presenters who normally come over every year.
We were also unable to travel to overseas seminars.
With light appearing at the end of the Covid-19 tunnel, we hope to reschedule all of these during 2021.
In the meantime all classes are running on thier normal schedule after a short hiliday break.
