Commando HapKiDo self-defense employs joint locks, pressure points, throws, ground self defense, kicks, and other strikes. Hapkido practitioners train to counter the techniques of other martial arts as well as common unskilled attacks. There are
also weapons including short sticks, cane, rope, nunchucks, sword, knife, staff and gun range training. Hapkido
contains both long and close range fighting techniques, utilizing dynamic kicking and percussive hand strikes at longer ranges
and pressure point strikes, jointlocks and throws at closer fighting distances. Commando HapKiDo emphasizes circular motion, non-resisting movements, and control of the opponent. Practitioners
seek to gain advantage through footwork and body positioning to employ bone breaking leverage, avoiding the use of strength
against strength. This system was later combined with kicking and striking techniques of indigenous
and contemporary arts such as taek kyun. Commando HapKiDo
seeks to be a fully comprehensive fighting style and as such tries to avoid narrow specialization in any particular type of
technique or range of fighting. It maintains a wide range of tactics for striking, standing joint-locks, throwing techniques (both pure and joint manipulating throws) and pinning/grappling techniques. Commando HapKiDo also incorporate tactics for ground fighting though these tactics generally tend to be focused upon escaping, controlling, striking, gouging and killing tactics over
submissions and emphasizing the ability to gain one's feet and situational awareness over pins. This is a great art in our
adults classes for law enforcment and military personal. Families and children are welcome in our family classes and junior
classes.
