Established in 1998, our academy has provided top-notch Hapkido and self-defense training for over 25 years. Led by Grand Master Anthony New, an 8th Degree Black Belt under the tutelage of Grand Master J.R. West of the Korea Kido Association, our skilled and friendly instructors promote a great learning environment in one of the largest, safest practice areas in Fort Wayne. We guide new students from their first step on our protective foam floors, offering a comfortable space for parents to observe classes where students train in comfortable athletic wear.
our Approach
Our instructors understand that a student’s individual progress should be the main focus of their attention. That is why our instructors continue to be students themselves. They take classes, attend seminars, and continually work to improve their ability to help our students reach their goals.
