Reality-based training for awareness, protection, and practical defense.
At U.S. Tae Kwon Do Hapkido Martial Arts Center, self defense is very high on the priority list. Our reality based teachings are very versatile and flexible. This discipline of self protection includes a variety of strikes, kicks, joint locks, pressure points, and disarming techniques.
The result is a practical, comprehensive approach that is fun to learn and produces very effective results for today’s ever changing self defense environment.
It is well suited for men and women of various ages because physical strength and athletic abilities are not essential. The emphasis is on avoidance, awareness, and then, when it comes right down to it, the skills and mindset necessary to successfully defend yourself or loved ones.
One approach is an ongoing education in self defense, where you attend class two or three days a week. This direction is recommended because it allows you to become familiar with the concepts and principles of self defense while increasing strength and stamina. The reality of it is, the more you do something, the better you become at it. This would be our Hapkido class.
The second approach is to take a one day hands-on course. This direction is great for those who do not have the time to dedicate to ongoing training, but desire better skills and knowledge necessary to deal with a potentially violent confrontation. This course covers empty hand self defense, edged weapons and gun disarms. This would be our Combatives course.
U.S. Tae Kwon Do Hapkido Martial Arts Center has been teaching self defense in the Brandon, Seffner, Valrico, Dover, Plant City and Riverview, Florida area for over 25 years.
