About SKMA Hapkido

SKMA Hapkido offers authentic Korean martial arts training for all ages and abilities. Classes are structured by age group, with dedicated programmes for children aged 5–10, juniors aged 11–15, and adults aged 15 and over, making it accessible whether you're starting out or developing your practice.

The core offering centres on hapkido self-defence, which teaches practical techniques for freeing yourself from grips, punches, and kicks. Beyond foundational self-defence, SKMA Hapkido specialises in traditional Korean weapons training, including sword, long staff, and short staff. The school also teaches Kummooyeh, an authentic Korean swordsmanship style combined with traditional archery, offering a distinctive pathway into historical martial arts.

Complementing the physical training, SKMA Hapkido incorporates meditation and breathing work. Sŏn practice focuses on inner calmness and relaxation through attentiveness and intensive internal concentration, while Dan-Jeon breathing techniques concentrate energy through intensive breathing from the lower abdomen. Training also emphasises flexibility and body balance through varied kicking practice.

Delivery is flexible: group classes are available in-person, while an online programme provides pre-filmed instructional videos for each level, allowing you to train at your own pace. Private lessons and corporate training options are also available for those seeking tailored instruction.

SKMA Hapkido holds memberships with the Korea Hapkido Federation, Korea Hapkido Total Federation, and World Kummooyeh Federation. Whether you're looking to build practical self-defence skills, explore traditional Korean martial arts, or develop mental and physical wellbeing through movement and meditation, SKMA Hapkido provides structured, age-appropriate training rooted in authentic practice.
