Benefits of Hapkido

THE TRADITIONAL KOREAN MARTIAL ART OF HAPKIDO

The schools of the Dae Han Chon Tu Hapkido teach the classical form of
Hapkido which is  effective because is uses both the hand and foot
techniques in combination and is easier to learn because of our
documented curriculum and standards.

The history of Korean Martial Arts dates back  2000 years when it was
first used by Koreans to defend their country against invaders. Since
modern  Hapkido has evolved form the trainings of Dojanim Choi
Young Sul the founder of Hapkido into something more than self
defense, exercise or even a sport. Because it is a philosophy of self-
improvement, self-control, and respect for others it has become a
dynamic way of life.
Hapkido still has it's original teachings through Young Sul Kwan
HapkiYusul under 3rd Doju Kim Yun Sang.
Hapkido has become popular world wide with the spreading of the art
through notable masters world wide and without question the key
influence being Ji Han Jae dan ranked under Dojanim Choi and founder
Sim Moo Hapkido

Hapkido, is Korea’s effective dynamic self defense art. Our Hapkido
instructors are fully certified and licensed. If self defense is one of your
reasons for joining, then Hapkido is a great choice. Non-lethal personal
protection for yourself and loved ones is one of the primary reasons
adults around the world have started training in Hapkido.

Our unique program is the best self-defense program available, helping

conditioning.

A Dae Han Chon Tu Hapkido program is unsurpassed for getting you or

* Improve athletic performance by improving conditioning and
reflexes. You’ll be able to do any activity longer, faster and with more
power.

you physically stronger and tougher. Many everyday tasks will become
easier to do because of this increase in strength.

first workout on, and the longer you work out the more efficient it
becomes. You’ll enjoy your life more because you will have more
energy and vitality. You’ll just simply feel better.

* Increase Flexibility. Flexibility will occur naturally due to the
stretching movements that are done in each class. Flexibility is
important because it helps and prevents lower back problems.

* Improve Appearance. Regular exercise firms and tones muscles,
burns more calories, and helps reduce your appetite. These factors will
give you a trimmer, firmer, and healthier appearance.

* At the same time that you are learning self-defense, you will look
better and feel better. Isn’t that incredible?

ACHIEVE MENTAL FITNESS

In addition to all the fitness benefits you will receive, your Hapkido
workout will enable you to develop confidence, improve self esteem
and reduce stress and tension. As you develop your self defense skills
you will be able to cope with daily problems and situations. The sense
of accomplishment and pride that is developed will carry over to every
aspect of your life. You will look different and feel different about
yourself. Additionally, you will be expanding your knowledge base by
learning and mastering the ancient skills of Korean martial arts.

BENEFITS TO ADULTS

The physical fitness and mental benefits are applicable to all students,
but adults obtain unique and special benefits from our program:

* Regular exercise will make you look better, feel better, and live
longer. Our program includes exercise that will firm and tone your
entire body - particularly the hip and thigh area. Korean martial arts
are famous for their dynamic kicking techniques, which naturally
provides a heavy concentration in that area. The aerobic component of
each class with help you control your weight by burning extra calories.

* Most people think of self defense when they think of martial arts.
They aren’t aware that martial arts training is an ideal way to get in
shape. After they discover the overall conditioning effect, they begin to
understand that martial arts offers extraordinary value and advantages
that cannot be achieved from the more traditional methods of getting
in shape; for example - health clubs. Here, while you are experiencing
an improvement in fitness, you also are learning new skills which
impact all areas of your life. At the same time it is an economical and
efficient use of your time. While others are pursuing their fitness
activities, you will be getting in shape and learning self defense - All at
the same time!

* The discipline, concentration and physical skills that you will gain will
lead to greater self-confidence and self-esteem. You will have the self-
assuredness to cope with the hassles and aggravations that can occur in
today’s hectic, frustrating and sometimes dangerous society. This “New
You” will result in a more capable, “together” person, at home, at work
and at play!


BENEFITS TO CHILDREN

Self defense is often the 1st reason why parents enroll their children in
Hapkido arts. It should be the last. Martial arts is more than a course in
kicks and punches. It can be a catalyst to promote confidence, goal
orientation, calmness and concentration. Furthermore, today’s children
are the most poorly conditioned and out of shape segment of our
population. So when a child participates in our program they learn at
an early age that regular exercise should be a lifetime experience, not
just a temporary fad. The increase in health and confidence leads to a
more alert confident child, this is what helps them get better grades in
school. Because martial arts students are able to focus better, thus
becoming attentive and absorbing more of what the teachers at schools
say.

I cannot imagine a more wholesome, safe, drug-free environment than
in our schools - building muscles and character with instructors serving
as positive role models. You will know what your child is doing and
where they are at with our program. Your anxiety and worry will be
replaced with the comfort of knowing that your child is learning
valuable skills that will make them happier, healthier and more
successful in life. Learning self confidence, self-esteem and self-respect.

Child Developmental Psychiatrist, Nancy Holland: “All children should
study martial arts because it is a practical course in assertiveness. They
learn how not to be bullied, but also why not to be a bully. A child’s
confidence from self-defense training also gives them a more secure
sense of identity and helps them become leaders.” She also said that:
“Loving parents are beginning to place their children in year round
martial arts training because it has distinct advantages over team
sports and other youth activities. In a martial arts program everyone
gets to participate. Developing at their own pace with No concern about
riding the bench or making the team. While some girls will develop
balance and fluid movement from Dance class or gymnastics, boys and
girls both can learn this from martial arts. Plus dance and other youth
activities cannot offer the practical advantage of self-defense training.”
We also like to add to her comments that Hapkido class is NEVER
boring. They will get a chance to learn new techniques in each and
every class!

We all want the best for children. There is no better investment that we
could make for our children than enrolling them in a wholesome
program like this one. I think that is easy to see.
