Weapons You’ll Learn to Defend Against

We focus on the most common threats you’re likely to face: knife, gun, stick, club — even everyday objects used as weapons. 

Using our 5‑Range Defensive System, you’ll gain:

A clear framework for how to keep yourself safe at various distances and under different conditions

Practical, tested techniques (not flashy moves)

Knowledge and security is what you will gain. For more information or to discuss your needs, feel free to contact us at kma4u@icloud.com.

Why traditional methods sometimes vanish is influenced by rules, sport evolution, and social change. Many traditional systems emphasized quick standing throws or lethal counters. As rule-based sport training in judo, BJJ, and wrestling evolved, along with urban safety concerns, some ground techniques were either adapted into sport or lost due to their dangerous nature, situational applicability, or lack of regular practice. This is why modern schools that preserve old methods are rare — but we do exist. If you're interested in our approach, feel free to contact us at kma4u@icloud.com. The question remains: Do you want to fight? Or, do you want to win?

Learn self-defense not just "near home," but from the comfort of your home. 

Traditional Hapkido is a practical, effective fusion of:

Taekwondo • Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu • Aikido • Ninjutsu • Weapon defense & disarms.

Plus, you'll master escapes from grabs—whether standing or on the ground.

You’ll explore hidden, proven methods—not flashy tricks. Want to learn the most effective ways to disarm an attacker? Our free videos will equip you with the edge you need when confronted by danger.

Why is this Home Study Self-Defense Course Free? 

Because Grand Master King has seen too many training videos that promise a lot—but can actually lead to injury. His goal is to teach you the quickest, safest path out of harm’s way.

If you consistently study and master the movements, you can earn a Hapkido Black Belt.

What Makes Our Traditional Hapkido Black Belt Certificates Different? 

At the end of the day, a black belt certificate is just a piece of paper with your name on it. What really matters is what stands behind it. 

The real question isn’t about the certificate — it's about your training: 

Are you learning something that makes sense? 

Do the movements actually work under pressure? 

Are you being taught real technique, or just flashy tricks? 

Many organizations create their own certificates and then charge hundreds of dollars for them. We believe in keeping things honest and affordable. For example, we charge just $50 for a 1st-degree black belt certificate. 

Our goal is education — We focus on quality training and practical skills. If you have any questions or need more information, feel free to contact us at kma4u@icloud.com.

How Testing Works

First, create a YouTube channel if you don’t already have one. Then, record yourself performing all required movements. No partner is necessary — just face the camera and demonstrate the techniques.

Once you have your video ready, email us your video link at kma4u. After your video is approved, we’ll provide instructions for payment.

You will receive your official certificate within 2-3 weeks. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to contact us at kma4u@icloud.com.
