In 1990 Grandmaster
Pellegrini officially named his style of Hapkido "Combat
Hapkido". The name clearly identifies it and sets it
apart from other "traditional" styles of Hapkido. It
is also referred to as the "Science of Self Defense".
In 1999 the Combat Hapkido System was officially recognized
and accredited as a legitimate "Kwan" of HapKiDo by
the WKF/KKA (Kido-Hae). The Korean name of Combat
Hapkido is "Chon-Tu Kwan HapKiDo"

Combat Hapkido
is an extremely realistic and versatile discipline of
self protection that includes an extensive variety of
strikes, kicks, joint locks, pressure points, grappling
and disarming techniques. The result is a practical,
comprehensive Self Defense system that is enjoyable
to learn and that produces effective results in realistic
situations.
Combat Hapkido's
dynamic concepts are based on scientific principles
of anatomy and biokinetics as well as psychology and
strategy. It is well suited for men and women of all
sizes because physical strength and athletic abilities
are not essential. The emphasis is on redirecting the
assailants' aggression and power back toward them
with little effort and minimum force on your part.
Founding this system
did not involve "inventing" the techniques. It was a
matter of selecting the most realistic, effective and
practical ones, modifying others and then combining
and arranging these techniques in a structured system
of instruction designed for individuals of all physical
abilities living in a modern society.
The essence of Combat
Hapkido is pure Self Defense. It is the synthesis of
dynamic concepts, scientific principles, realistic applications
and plain common sense.
Combat Hapkido is the
result of over 3 decades of study, research and development.
This comprehensive system is now taught in hundreds of Martial
Art Schools, Police Departments, Military Bases and over
15 foreign Countries. Combat Hapkido can stand alone and
be taught as a complete system or it can be added as a separate
program to any traditional Martial Arts curriculum
Combat Hapkido is
for sincere and open minded students and Instructors
who are serious about wanting to grow and evolve to
a new level of understanding and ability.
Combat Hapkido can
be easily integrated into any program because it complements
and blends well with most Martial Arts.
