Sin Moo Hapkido is a Korean martial art. It was founded by Dojunim Ji Han-Jae and is basically based on three areas: Foot kicks, hand techniques (levers, throws, etc.) and meditation.
Hapkido is not a combat sport but a martial art and includes many different aspects. The focus is on self-defense and health. The system of self-defense is very effective and can be learned by everyone. The health aspect is central in Hapkido. The movements are always appropriate for the body and the breathing and energy exercises strengthen body and mind.

Master Jong-Hyung conducts himself with charm and dignity, teaching from a true love of martial arts. His HKD style emphasizes “body power”, not muscle power, and are very effective against opponents of any size or strength.
His way of HKD also benefits health immeasurably. If you are over 50+ you should immediately try his lessons – you will feel and see great results in short time.
