Our curriculum consists of much more than acrobatic kicks and tournaments. For instance, our black belt adult males (juniors and women appropriately different) are required to be able to run five miles in less than forty minutes, be able to do 25 pull-ups, at least 25 distinct self-defense techniques ( Hapkido ), be non-smokers and people of profound moral character.
Our rank tests include not just performance of forms, fighting and breaking but various challenges involving blindfolds, tricks and surprises to intrigue even those most experienced in labyrinths.
Hapkido (Aikido), a re-directional martial art, is taught in the same class. |
