Hap Ki Do

HapKiDo
Hap Ki Do is a discipline of coordination, a way of strengthening the mind and body, and of fusing the individual’s physical and mental powers so that he or she will emerge as a more fully integrated human being.

The word in fact means:
Method or Way (DO) for the
(coordination) Harmony (HAP) of
Mental Energy or Spirit (KI)

One should always try to avoid violence, but if someone grabs you, attempts to strike you, or physically assaults you in any way, it has escalated beyond words, and you are left with the only option, which is to defend.

The Korean Art of Self Defense , Hap Ki Do is considered a “soft” style of Martial Art, as opposed to “hard” styles that practice the use of force against force, making the outcome a simple matter of size and strength. The Hap Ki Do practitioner diverts or suppresses an attacker’s flow of energy peacefully. This diversion allows him/her to use the attacker’s power against them, leading to the attacker’s defeat. Through the use of pressure on certain skeletal joints and pressure points, very little strength is needed to overcome an opponent.
