Our expert instructors have years of experience in practising and teaching the Korean art of self-defence, Hapkido, with people of all ages and levels.

Experienced martial arts instructors in Tuggerah

At Wyong Hapkido, we’re passionate about self-defence.
 
When you know you have the ability to defend yourself in most situations, you can go about your life with more confidence and happiness. We don’t promote fighting or unnecessary aggression, but it’s good to know that you have the power to protect yourself or others if they needed your assistance.
 
With hapkido, you can have that confidence.
