WHAT IS HAPMUDO?

Hapmudo is a system of self-defense based on fundamental offensive and defensive techniques.

These techniques can be classified as follows:
Empty hands against empty hands.
Empty hands against a weapon.
Weapons against weapon.
Each of these categories include:
Punching, kicking,
Joint locking, grappling,
Pressure points, throwing techniques

Hapmudo is based on the theory of circular defense as opposed to direct defense. Direct defense may cause injury and may be unsuccessful against greater power whereas Hapmudo’s circular defense requires little power but much knowledge and skill. These delicate techniques will overcome brute force almost always.

The meaning of the word Hapmudo is “the way to combine mind and body power for World Peace”
