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 goals and to realise your martial arts 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.

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.

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 August 2020
Training is back to normal at the Upper Hutt Martial Arts Academy after lock down and the various stages in coming out of it.
It has been good to see most of our members return to training and also the many new members who have joined since reopening.
