The Australian Hapkido Association Sutherland is a sports club located in Sydney, Australia. As a branch of the Australian Hapkido Association, this club offers traditional Korean martial arts training to individuals of all ages and skill levels.
Hapkido is a unique martial art that focuses on employing minimal force to overcome stronger opponents. This means that physical strength is not a prerequisite for effective technique application. Hapkidoists learn to adapt their fighting style to their opponent's strength or weaknesses, making it a practical and versatile form of self-defence.
The training at the Australian Hapkido Association Sutherland includes a wide range of techniques, such as spinning kicks, thrusts, sweeps, hard and soft fist attacks, as well as joint locks, throws, and pressure point attacks. Through systematic training and exercise, students improve their health, develop muscles and muscle tone, maintain correct posture, control their weight, and gain a sense of self-confidence and self-control.
In addition to self-defence skills, Hapkido instils important traditional values such as discipline, respect, and self-fulfilment in a friendly and supportive training environment. Students also have the opportunity to build resilience and form lasting friendships within the club.
The Australian Hapkido Association Sutherland is affiliated with 19 clubs nationwide, making it part of a professional association dedicated to promoting and advancing the practise of Hapkido in Australia. This affiliation ensures that students receive quality and authentic training from certified instructors.
