Han Ho Martial Arts

Han Ho Martial Arts provides superior training in Traditional Korean Martial Arts.  Offering instruction in Taekwondo, Hapkido, Haedong Kumdo (swords) and Ssang Jul Gon (nunchaku), we approach the martial arts as a unity of body, mind and spirit.  In addition to age appropriate classes and private training, Han Ho proudly trains the men and women of regional police departments and correctional facilities utilizing their specialized Police Defensive Tactics Training program. For those who want the benefits of group training without the focus of martial arts, Cardio Kickboxing classes are available.

Han Ho Martial Arts teaches more than just the sport aspect of the art form. We respect each student as an individual and help them to achieve their own personal best.  Respect and discipline is taught in a nuturing, team environment while allowing each person to realize their full potential and develop their confidence, skills and character at their own pace. Not only will you get into better physical shape, you will develop stronger mental focus and concentration.  You will learn a skill that can save your life or that or a loved one as well as celebrate your own, personal accomplishments.

As certified members of the highly respected United States Taekwondo Association under the guidance of founder Grand Master Dr. Richard Chun and the World Hapkido Association under the guidance of President Grand Master Tae Jung, our training is current and competitive and strives to maintain the deep rooted traditions of these ancient Korean arts. Han Hois nationally and internationally recognized by continually maintaining and receiving top honors and awards in competitions and tournments.

With the current western trend focusing on "Mixed Martial Arts (or MMA)," Han Ho is proud to provide an intensive and traditional foundation that has survived thousands of years and can be traced back to the earliest Asian civilizations.  Many of the current champions of the MMA world understand the value of traditional training including the current UFC World Middle Weight Champion who is a Tae Kwon Do Black Belt.  Whether you're looking for traditional training or focused skills to add to your Mixed Martial Arts background, Han Ho can help you achieve your personal goals.
