ABOUT ABSOLUTE SELF DEFENCE
Absolute Self Defence was created out of a strong passion, a shared vision and a ceaseless commitment to making martial arts learning easy and accessible in a safe, nurturing and welcoming environment.
​
Since 2018, we’ve had the opportunity to help countless students acquire self defence skills, develop safety awareness and improve health, fitness, well-being, confidence, balance and coordination. For younger students we focus on school preparation with emphasis on gross motor skills and core strength development, social skills and self-regulation/control. The benefits of training consistently helps obtain maximum benefits and build muscle memory of all techniques and skills for life.
We offer our classes all year around, at our full time Dojang in Mt Kuring-Gai, as part of our commitment to our students. We offer classes to children, teenagers and adults.
​
Absolute Self Defence focuses on teaching a martial art style also known as
the complete art of self defence - Kwan Nyom Hapkido as a proud member of
the International Hapkido Alliance (IHA) and Australian Hapkido group
under the leadership of Grandmaster Geoff Booth.​
​
Hapkido consists of variety of techniques that can be used in any self defence situation, against grabs, strikes, pushes, shoves, kicks, and it is not limited to kicking and punching. Rather, it employs various aspects of self defence, including rolls and breakfalls to safely roll and breakfall. Balance breaks, ground defence, joint locks, and there is more to Hapkido and it is truly a mixed martial art for self defence.
It is non-competitive and we work as a team to learn and practice our skills. Hapkido offers the benefits of sports and physical fitness without the competitive nature of sports and it is fun to learn, with so many different kinds of tools it is never boring.
​
Our reputation grows each day as an excellent Martial Arts School in the Mount Kuring-Gai area and surrounds, Overall well-being of each individual student and members of our community is important to us.
We provide a wide range of age appropriate programs and events,
to support our students and to ensure their martial arts journey is memorable.
We are looking forward to meeting you and your family,
and the opportunity to introduce you to our programs.
​
Stay safe and well.
