Hap Ki Do Black Belt Program
When a Yeshá Ministries student (age 13+) reaches the rank of Blue Belt he or she may enroll in the Hap Ki Do program. Hap Ki Do ("the way of coordinated power") is a self-defense system which employs joint locks, pressure points, throws, kicks, and other strikes. It is an authentic Asian martial art of total self-defense; it deals with countering the techniques of other martial arts as well as common "unskilled" attacks.
Our program will be based on: Jin Jung Kwan Hap Ki Do
This system carries a relationship with the Korean Hap Ki Do Association and traces its roots back thousands of years.
