Traditional Training for Young Warriors
Are children taught?
Yes. Children are taught Youth Hapkido, a system of Hapkido specifically designed for children to prepare them for the dynamic techniques they will later learn as adults..
What Is The Main Goal of the Hapkido Kidz Program?
One Word:
ESCAPE!
The overall purpose of this program is to teach children about the possibility of potentially dangerous situations and how to escape from them. First teaching a wide variety of techniques that include kicks, hand strikes and joint manipulation does this. During the process of this training the youth is run through a series of simulations with adult instructors to test there knowledge of there new acquired skills.
Can A Child Earn A “Black belt”?
Yes. This is a full training program. After the completion of every phase of training your child will earn a certificate for that level along with the corresponding belt. This will be repeated until the Youth Hapkido ”Black belt” is earned.
Why Train in the martial arts?
Martial Arts training will help them develop honor, discipline, and dignity, courtesy and respect, both for themselves and others. Learning the Martial Arts has helped many children succeed at home; in school; and in life.
Self-Defense vs. Sport Martial Arts
Please consider that although those items mentioned above serve to enhance the quality of our children's personality, many can be obtained elsewhere. ONLY through the martial arts can self-defense be employed. Ultimately this should be the
goal of all martial arts institutions. Many martial arts organizations teach sports and not true self-defense or they teach some form of self-defense along with the stronger emphasis on sports. The martial arts training that is offered here at DTI is not a sport nor is it taught as one.
