Hapkido techniques are all taught with an emphasis on actual combat situations. The student is trained to depend upon his reflexes, rather than a set, forced response.

A beginning student's physical condition or ability has no bearing on the study of Hapkido. One starts gradually and the technique becomes strenuous as one's condition improves. This makes the art an ideal total body conditioner.

Once a student is proficient with the basics skills, options are available to learn new techniques which match the student's capability to learn and demonstrate proper execution. There is a strong emphasis on form as well as understanding of the reasons behind the techniques. Students are give opportunities to apply their techniques in light contact sparring where they work with other students of higher and lower levels under the direct supervision of the certified instructors.
