London
Spring Seminar – we have a series
of open seminars planned for the Capital through 2004. To
keep track of news on these seminars please click on the
'News' link on the left hand side.
Bespoke
Training
– as the training of Hapkido is not widespread but
attracts a great deal of interest from across the country,
we provide a seminar service. In audition to any seminars
already being planned, we are able to set up training at
suitable venues on request. For more information about this
please contact us on 01362 667070 or email your enquiry.
Specialist
Training – we also provide a range
of specialist training to groups including private organisations,
commercial bodies, government departments and groups. Advanced
combat training is available through our Senior Coach Nial
Adams, to suitable groups. For more information about this
please contact us on 01362 667070 or email your enquiry.
Coach Development Programme (CDP)
In
order to continue the expansion of our organisation and
maintain the highest standards, for which we are well recognised,
we have structured a programme to train coaches.
IMPORTANT
- Firstly it must be pointed out that a core element
of our standards is the minimum requirements for those
attaining Dan Grades. We will not issue a Black Belt
to anyone who has less that three years of proper
training in our style. Neither will we recognise anyone
who purports to hold a Dan Grade in Hapkido unless
that they can provide evidence of training with a
credible body for a minimum of three years per Dan
Grade. We are aware, and hold a list, of individuals
in the UK and around the world who claim Hapkido grades
but have clearly inadequate training – essentially
their grades are bogus.
Our
CDP is set up to assist with the establishment of
new training branches around the UK. We receive a
great number of enquires from those with existing
martial arts experience who want to learn Hapkido.
In some cases these people feel the style they have
studied has little more to teach them or has become
impractical for their needs.

Through
the CDP we structure a personalised training programme, which
allows a suitable individual to commence learning the basics
of our system. Then at a point under our supervision we help
then to start teaching these basics in small, private groups.
Over the life of their personal CDP we develop the individual
to a point where they are able to attain their 1st Dan Black
Belt and open a fully authorised and licensed branch of International
Hapkido.
This
programme is a great investment in time and energy on our
part and we only accept suitable candidates. This is not
an ‘advanced learning programme’ or ‘get
your black belt in six months’ affair. The costs for
the CDP vary depending upon circumstances and it should
be noted that we are not selling this as a business opportunity.
If you would like to discuss you own personal circumstances
and apply to join our CDP please contact Nial Adams, Senior
Coach for more information.
