Colorado Combat Hapkido Academy

Hapkido means "The Way of Coordinated Power."

It is a blended martial art which incorporates the kicks of modern Taekwondo and ancient Taekyon with hand strikes, joint locks, throws and pressure point compliance techniques.

Combat Hapkido was conceived to address the needs of martial artists looking for a dynamic and practical self-defense system that produces effective results in real life situations.

The essence of Combat Hapkido is Pure Self-Defense.

Combat Hapkido can be easily integrated into any self-defense program because it complements and blends well with any martial art style.

The Colorado Combat Hapkido Academy is located in Colorado Springs, Colorado near (South East of) the intersection of Academy and North Carefree Circle, behind King Pin Bowl. Look for the "Aikido" signs.
