The learning of Hapkido is suitable to men, women, and children from the age of 6.

​

Wellington Hapkido Academy teaches the traditional style of Hapkido. We run a relaxed and friendly class where serious learning takes place with little formality.

We operate out of a dedicated martial arts centre off Adelaide Road, Mt Cook, Wellington. The facilities include 200m2 of padded mats, changing rooms, kick bags, and other equipment specific to martial arts.

We are a non-profit club with all instruction and administration provided voluntarily by our members.

​

We teach practical self-defence in a safe and enjoyable atmosphere. Each student is encouraged to learn and understand self-defence as a means to enable fitness, encourage well-being and gain confidence.
