Welcome!
At South Sound Heuk Choo Kwan, Jidokwan we offer quality martial arts instructions. Whether you are looking for effective real world self defense, competition, sparring instructions, or are simply in the fitness aspect, our school offers something for everyone.
Our goal is to not only teach how to kick, punch, and apply self defense techniques, but to promote discipline, confidence, respect, and strong character development.
We offer training in Hapkido, which is a complete martial art teaching throws, kicks, punches, joint manipulation, pressure points, free fighting, weapons, take downs and meditation. This art also teaches the student to tap into his or her inner strengths to increase the effectiveness of techniques. It also teaches how to avoid and redirect the energy of an assailant and use it against them. Literally, the term Hapkido is derived from three Korean words:
Hap: the coordination of mind and body.
Ki: the inner energy that is created and manifested through "Hap".
Do: the self-controlled and disciplined life necessary to create "Hap" and "Ki".
We also offer TaeKwonDo, which is easily recognized by its effective and often spectacular kicking and punching. TaeKwonDo is a very good system for beginning martial artist as well as those that feel that they are awkward or clumsy. TKD promotes great hand eye technique, footwork, coordination, control and balance throughout multiple techniques as well as economy in motion.
