"Success is neither magical nor mysterious.  Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals." Jim Rohn

     Hapkido is the primary traditional art that I study and teach.  I have trained in other arts, and have taken seminars in many more, but Hapkido is my primary art and passion.  

     I feel Hapkido blends well with the real life experiences I have had with violence and fighting, and the way I teach incorporates lessons from these experiences that help identify the parts of Hapkido that are more art, and the elements most suited for actual combat or self-defense.

In this section of the site, I will share information regarding Hapkido as a martial art and as an effective fighting system.  Additionally, I will post things about Korea and the Martial Arts that I feel Hapkidoin and Martial Artists will find of interest.
