Hapkido is a Korean martial art. Translated, Hapido literally means "The Way of Coordinated Power." Hapkido is for anyone who wants to learn how to stop an assault or rape from happening to themselves or others. Through the scientific use of the body in proper form and technique, Hapkido allows students to become stronger, better coordinated, and to exude more confidence. <P> The ultimate aim of Hapkido is the development of character. Practicing this art demands hard work and training, but allows time for fun. The rewards include self-confidence, patience, physical fitness, mental alertness, and respect. <P> Character building is the <EM>inner goal</EM> of Hapkido----and our <EM>outward expression</EM> of this is learning <U>self-defense</U>. In this course you will learn the basics of kicking, punching, blocking, locks, and throws. You will also be introduced to the philosophy of martial arts and the importance of flexibility and strong mental discipline. Our lessons apply not only to the practice hall, but to everyday life. <P> Classes are geared for anyone 16 years old and older. (Exceptions may be made on a case-to-case basis.) Enrollment is $35.00 a month. <P> Hapkido's ultimate goal is to develop character, not killers. <P> Class meeting times at the Irving Community Center, 2010 Van Dorn St: <P> <CENTER> Tuesday and Thursday evening, 6:00 to 8:00 PM<BR> First Saturday of every month, 4:30 to 6:00 PM </CENTER> <BR><BR> <A HREF=http://www.binary.net/thomcat/Hapkido.html>LEARN MORE</A> about Hapkido----from it's history to it's style of techniques. <P> <A HREF=http://www.binary.net/thomcat/Martial.html>LEARN MORE</A> about Martial Arts in general, including ideas of what to look for so that you find a martial art that fits <U>you</U>. <BR><BR><HR> </STRONG> <CENTER> <A HREF=Hapkido.html>Hapkido Page</A> | <A HREF=Martial.html>Martial Arts Page</A> | <A HREF=main.shtml>Thomcat's Main Page</A> <BR><BR> <ADDRESS> Mail to: <A HREF=mailto:hapkido@mindspring.com>Nebraska Hapkido Association</A> </ADDRESS> <BR> <HR> <FONT SIZE=-1> Member of the US Hapkido Association | Member of the USA Tae Kwon-Do Federation<BR> <BR><BR> </BODY>
