Hapkido Intensive
Korean Dynamic Art of
Realistic Self-Defense
Sat, Oct 4
Workshop #1
11am-12pm
Combatives
Enter, Takedown, Counter!
Combat doesn’t end with the takedown—it evolves. In this session, you’ll train to execute a controlled, combat-effective takedown and transition seamlessly into a dominant pinning position.
But we don’t stop there. Learn to escape and launch a decisive counter-pin—regaining control and seizing the advantage. Train with intent. Move with focus.
Workshop #2
12:15-1:15pm
Street-Proven Technique
Assess, Respond, Defend!
In the real world, there's no time for theory—only action. Learn the same techniques our students and instructors have used to protect themselves in real confrontations.
These are not flashy moves for show—they are pressure-tested, battle-proven responses built on awareness, precision, and control. Train with intent. React with purpose. Survive with skill.
Workshop #3
1:30-2:30pm
Weapon Defense
Evade, Control, Disarm!
A weapon leaves no room for error. In this training, you will learn to move with awareness, evade with focus, and take control before the weapon takes you.
Weapon defense is not a trick—it is a result of timing, structure, and decisive action. These principles have been tested in real-world encounters by those who train with discipline and clarity.
