MARTIAL ARTS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
About Us
(Hapkido Drill for Finishing Techniques)
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.

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 May 2022
We are always looking for new members to join our team and you can be assured that our commitment to best practices will keep you and your family safe.
