Best Martial Arts Lessons in Bronx

At the NY Combat Hapkido Club, our approach to martial arts is guided by a commitment to practicality and modern self-defense. We have carefully curated our curriculum to exclude traditional Hapkido techniques that may not be applicable in today's real-world scenarios. This means foregoing acrobatic break falls, elaborate forms, and esoteric meditative practices. We've also eschewed the use of weapons that might be impractical and uncommon in contemporary society, opting instead for a focus on practical self-defense tools.

What sets Combat Hapkido apart is its strategic blend of techniques drawn from various martial arts styles. By incorporating elements from Arnis, JuJutsu, KickBoxing, and Kuntao Silat, our core curriculum is enriched and adapted to the challenges of today. Ground self-defense, often overlooked in traditional Hapkido, receives special attention through meticulous research and the integration of grappling techniques from diverse sources.

Our mission at the NY Combat Hapkido Club is to deliver top-tier martial arts instruction in a welcoming and secure environment, all at an affordable cost. Our team of dedicated instructors brings years of expertise to the table, ensuring that every student receives personalized attention tailored to their self-defense needs. With over 30 years of operation, our school stands as one of the oldest charter branches of the ICHF, a testament to our enduring commitment to the art.

At the heart of our approach is Grandmaster Alfred Medina, a retired police sergeant with over 40 years of experience in practical street self-defense instruction. He has meticulously crafted Combat Hapkido as a response to the demands of the modern world, eliminating formalities and concentrating on effectiveness.

Our ethos revolves around empowering individuals with invaluable skills for self-protection. As crime rates surge in our city, learning to safeguard oneself and loved ones becomes paramount. Combat Hapkido not only equips you with self-defense techniques but also bolsters self-assurance, discipline, and focus. It bridges gender gaps, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.

Moreover, engaging in martial arts is a pathway to stress relief, improved physical health, and character development. Our classes aren't just about learning techniques; they're about honing values like respect, humility, honesty, and perseverance.

Join us in this journey to mastery, guided by experienced black belt instructors who are not only passionate about Combat Hapkido but also dedicated to your progress. In a world where competition is absent from our practice, our focus remains unwavering: to prepare you for the challenges of the streets, to provide you with the confidence to face uncertainty, and to arm you with the skills to protect yourself and your loved ones. We are based in the Bronx. Call (347) 512-8935 for more information!
