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 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 June 2021
As part of our on-going growth as a martial arts Academy, we are adding in 2 new classes to our weekly schedule from later next week.
From Friday June 3rd we are running a morning Hapkido class from 9 am to 10 am. This is being taken by our head instructor and the class will be more of a "Deep Dive" into our core Hapkido and other Hapkido material.
We are in the early stages of planning "Womens Only" classes to be held during the day. Many women can't attend our regular early evening classes and others feel uncomforable (at least initially) training with men. We will provide an update on this new type of class later this month. If you are interested in attending a Women's Only class please message Rhiannon.
