One of the world's oldest forms of martial arts, TKD combines high standing and jump kicks, and punches. Training involves kicking, punching and blocking in various combinations of traditional sets known as hyung. As students progress they receive different belts. As with all martial arts there is a strong mental and physical aspect to training which leads to the development of a strong moral character.
Hapkido includes a vast variety of arm and leg joint locks, weapon techniques, throws, kicks, hits, and nerve pressure point techniques. This is no sport but is a true martial art, outstandingly suitable for self-defense, regardless of age. Hapkido not only redirects the attack, but turns it back against the attacker and follows through with offensive techniques which may control his violence or render him incapable of further antagonistic actions. The practitioner defuses the aggression without the need for uncontrolled damage as seen in many other styles.
Muay Thai, or Thai Boxing, is the national sport of Thailand and has origins in the ancient battlefield tactics of the Siamese (Thai) army. This style features punches, kicks, elbows, knees, and standing grappling to wear down and knock out the opponent. Thai training methods develop devastating power, speed and superb cardio-vascular endurance as well as fighting spirit. Muay Thai has also proven very effective outside the ring and has been embraced enthusiastically by practitioners of a variety of self-defense, sporting, military and law enforcement activities. In class students will use protective pads and engage in technical training.
Originated in Japan, Judo was developed from Ju-jitsu, and was founded by Jigoro Kano in 1882. The sport became the model of the modern Japanese martial arts, gendai budo, developed from old koryu schools. Judo takes from ju-jitsu ("gentle art") the principle of using one's opponent's strength against him. The focus in judo is on throwing techniques (nage-waza), with ground work (katame-waza). Judo is best known for its spectacular throwing techniques but also involves considerable grappling on the ground utilizing specialized pins, control holds, arm locks, and choking techniques.
Sirum (also called Korean sumo wrestling) is a traditional Korean sport and martial art, which also symbolizes the national spirit of the Korean people. Sirum is a contest of physical strength and technique in which two contestants compete in direct contact against each other. It is somewhat similar to the 8th century AD Japanese sport of Sumo Wrestling, but involves more testing of balance and strength.
Ground wrestling includes numerous techniques for controlling an opponent after he has been delivered to the ground. Part of Judo, it is practical for self defense. Using timing and leverage the student will use painful hold-down techniques, chokes, strangleholds, and arm locks to control and subdue the opponent. If the opponent does not surrender, for example, he might either have his elbow joint dislocated by an arm lock or will be rendered unconscious with a chokehold. A student first learns "ukemi", the art of falling properly, to avoid injury. All practitioners wear a judo gi and a belt and practice on mats.
