About Us
Our style is called Hapkido and it will teach you how to defend yourself and others against a variety of common attacks. It combines hand strikes and powerful kicking with joint locks and escort holds, takedowns and throws as well as ground fighting.
The best way to describe our style is that it is a blend of Karate, Judo and Jujitsu. We believe we've taken the strengths from all of these disciplines and created a style that will enable you to defend yourself in just about any situation.
The emphasis is not on hurting other people, but on being able to protect yourself and others around you with reasonable force. Hapkido's techniques are based on an opponents attack, meeting that attack, turning it back on the attacker, and following through with offensive finishing techniques if required.
Hapkido is also good at improving your all round physical training - improving your aerobic capability, strength, stamina and flexibility.
Kingsland Martial Arts operates out of dedicated martial arts center just 5 minutes from the Auckland CBD. Facilities include a 200m2 training floor entirely covered with mats, changing rooms, kick bags and other pads specific to martial arts.
