GROUND SURVIVAL
The Combat Hapkido Ground Survival program is a multi-level course of instruction in the science of ground fighting. It is not about “wrestling” or “ground grappling”. It is about successfully fighting back an attack while in the most dangerous position in self-defense; escaping and quickly recovering the safer, dominant standing position.
PRESSURE POINTS
Integrating the scientific, knowledgeable and wise use of pressure points with our training not only reflects and recognizes our roots in the traditional Korean art but, on a practical level, facilitates the application and enhances the effectiveness of all of our techniques.
