MARTIAL ARTS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

About Us

<br />
(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.

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 Tigers for Children aged 7 to 12

Hapkido Tigers is all about using Hapkido training to help your children develop into strong and confident adults. In addition to learning good self-defence skills, your child will also learn important life and leadership skills.

Hapkido Dragons for Children aged 5 to 6

Hapkido Dragons program is for children aged from 5 to 6. The class focuses on fitness, and martial arts fundamentals. It serves as a primer for the more formal martial arts training in our Hapkido Tigers Class.

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 December 2021

From Friday 3rd December, the Wellington Region moves to the Amber Traffic Light setting.

Under the Traffic Lights system, Sports New Zealand have classified all martial arts schools as GYMS. Under this ruling we are required to scan/and or validate Vaccine Passes for anybody entering our premises either as training members, spectators or prospective new members.

We are always looking for new members to join our team and now is a good time to join because we only have a short break over the Christmas Holiday period. This allows you uninterrupted training over the Summer months.
