Hapkido – martial art & self-defense in Styria
Our mission
Hapkido is far more than pure self-defense. This traditional Korean martial art brings body, mind and spirit together into one complete path of instruction. Anyone practising Hapkido in Styria – whether in Leibnitz, Graz, Weiz, Feldbach or Fehring – not only improves their physical fitness but also develops mental strength, self-confidence and inner calm.
What does Hapkido mean?
- HAP – harmony of body, mind and spirit, and with the world around us
- KI – the physical and mental power that drives us
- DO – the way, the method of living that we follow through continuous practice
Hapkido is therefore a martial art that offers both effective self-defense and personal growth – for young and old alike.
The principles of Hapkido
- WON – The circle: attacks are redirected and controlled.
- YU – The flow: energy is gathered and released in a targeted way.
- HWA – The impact: physical and mental presence act on the opponent.
These principles make Hapkido a dynamic, powerful and at the same time deeply harmonious martial art.
Disciplines in Hapkido
Hapkido instruction in Leibnitz and across Styria covers technique, breaking tests and practice tournaments. It is never only about winning or losing, but about personal growth, precision and body control.
- Technique – clean sequences of movement and Hyong forms
- Breaking test – precision and energy instead of raw force
- Practice tournament – applying strikes, kicks, throws and joint locks in a controlled setting
Hapkido in Styria – tradition & modern practice
Hapkido has been firmly established in Austria for decades. In Styria – with a venue in Leibnitz as well as partner clubs in Weiz, Feldbach and Fehring – we give children, teenagers and adults the chance to learn this versatile martial art. Values such as respect, discipline and self-confidence matter here just as much as the ability to defend oneself.
