On behalf of the World Hapkido Association (WHA), Calgary Hapkido College (CHC) would like to extend a warm welcome to you.

Hapkido can be described as the art of combining the power of our mind, body and spirit. This is done through the use of joint locks, joint manipulation, grappling and pain compliance. By training and constantly working to understand these concepts, a Hapkido practitioner becomes well equipped for the rigors of everyday life.

Calgary Hapkido College focuses on contemporary techniques and strives to encompass the idea of practicality. By combining kicks, locks, throws, grappling, and practical weaponry into a sparring environment, students are introduced to the practical use of Hapkido. Through scenario training, practitioners are able to see first-hand how these techniques can be applied. While developing these practical skills, students are able to learn and grow in a safe and supportive environment. Fostering a mindset of respect and acceptance is not only key, but vital to maintaining the idea and philosophy of Hapkido.
