How will training at AKF Martial Arts Academy benefit me?

Martial Arts Academy focuses on three primary disciplines: Tae Kwon Do, Judo and Hapkido.

Tae Kwon Do, a Korean martial art which emphasizes kicking, is the major study at AKF, developing strong balance, focus and body control.

Judo, derived from the Japanese art of Jujitsu, concentrates on utilizing an opponent’s weight and force against themselves, appropriate for situations in which close quarter attacks do not allow for longer distance kicking or striking.

Hapkido, which bases its effectiveness in circumventing its opponent’s attack through joint manipulation and circular movement; an outstanding tool for personal protection.

Weapons such as the tonfa, bo staff, nunchaku, and sai are taught at the higher ranks once control and maturity have been successfully demonstrated by a student.

we make our training personal for you. The disciplines taught here are taken very seriously, so we insure that our students are allowed the greatest possible exposure to various techniques, philosophies, history and deeper understandings often overlooked in the rush to advance.

or our junior members, this means a greater concentration on procedure and technique, developing confidence and self-discipline at an early age. Children gain a sense of belonging with AKF that helps them develop stronger social skills in their formative years; allowing them to make friends easier, determine for themselves what is right and wrong, and guide them in setting and reaching their short and long term goals.

ur academic members, having developed a strong foundation, find that these same principles:
