Students in our Teen Martial Arts program learn to apply positive tenets that they learn, to their everyday lives. Teens who begin HAPKIDO find themselves looking at life challenges as opportunities, rather than obstacles. They become more resilient, and are better able to face the stressors of everyday life. Teens who study Jung Moo Hapkido celebrate their successes in training. They therefore learn to celebrate themselves in life. They become calmer and more confident which leads to competency and a feeling of self-worth.
Participating in healthy, vigorous physical activity helps combat the dangerous trend of childhood obesity. Therefore it helps guard against the resulting diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure for Adults. Regular sports such as baseball, soccer, football and basketball may provide some relief on a seasonal basis. Martial arts, however, are a year-round, healthy fitness commitment that provides a full-body workout. Hapkido training provides strength and flexibility exercises to keep Teens healthy. They are better prepared to succeed in school, at work and at home.
Organized sports are competitive by nature and the focus is always on being better than someone else. In Martial Arts the focus is on being a better YOU! The person you see in the mirror is the toughest opponent you will ever face. Hapkido will remove the “I Can’t” from your teens vocabulary and replace it with “I CAN”.
Traditional HapKiDo emphasizes strict discipline and self-control. Teens learn to follow rules, respect instructors and peers, and control their emotions and impulses. This discipline often translates to better behavior and performance in other areas of life, such as school and home.
HapKiDo teaches respect for oneself and others. Bowing to instructors and opponents, addressing seniors with titles, and practicing humility are integral parts of training. These practices help teens develop a sense of respect and humility, crucial for positive social interactions.
Regular HapKiDo training improves physical fitness, strength, flexibility, and overall health. Teens engaged in HapKiDo are more likely to maintain a healthy lifestyle, reducing the risk of obesity and related health issues.
Learning self-defense techniques boosts confidence and helps teens feel more secure. This knowledge can be particularly empowering, providing a sense of safety and the ability to protect oneself if necessary.
.
HapKiDo requires intense focus and concentration during practice and competitions. These skills are transferable to academic and other pursuits, helping teens improve their attention span and cognitive abilities.
HapKiDo training is often challenging and requires perseverance. Teens learn to push through difficulties, handle failures, and keep striving towards their goals. This resilience is valuable in all aspects of life, helping them to cope with setbacks and persist in the face of adversity.
Training often involves group activities, sparring, and partner work, fostering social interaction and teamwork. Teens learn to communicate effectively, collaborate, and build lasting friendships with their peers.
The physical activity involved in HapKiDo releases endorphins, which can improve mood and reduce stress. Additionally, the meditative aspects of HapKiDo, such as breathing exercises and forms, promote mental clarity and emotional balance.
Traditional HapKiDo are often steeped in the history and culture of their country of origin. Learning about these traditions can broaden teens’ cultural awareness and appreciation, fostering a global perspective and respect for diversity.
HapKiDo involves a series of ranks or belts that students achieve through testing. This structure teaches teens how to set, pursue, and achieve goals, instilling a sense of accomplishment and motivation to reach higher.
HapKiDo traditions include philosophical teachings on ethics and morality. Teens are taught values such as integrity, honesty, and justice, which help them develop a strong moral compass and ethical behavior.
Incorporating these values from authentic traditional HapKiDo can have a profound and positive impact on the overall development of teens, equipping them with skills and attributes that will benefit them throughout their lives.

Highly recommend!renee smith2024-06-23Andrew Lewis2024-02-05Outstanding school with tremendous instructors in a welcoming environment. I earned my 1st Dan in Orthodox Hapkido while stationed in Korea during my Army service, and I can tell you that the Jung Martial Arts Family Center is the real deal. Highly recommend!Brett Welty2023-06-14My son has been training at Jung Martial Arts Family Center (Hapkido) for over two years and my wife and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My son is learning about the art of self-defense, which teaches him balance, footwork, body positioning, how to breathe and several other components of Hapkido. However, more impressively to me, not only is he learning about self-defense, but he is also learning about critical life values such as honesty, integrity, respect, loyalty, courage, etc. With the top-notch instruction that he receives from the staff, he doesn’t just know to say those words (values), but he understands the meaning of the word(s) and how it applies to him. Overall, I believe Hapkido has impacted my son in an extremely positive way. Changing his attitude from self-doubt to I can do anything, no longer being timid in trying something new, and making better overall decisions on a daily basis. I highly recommend the Jung Martial Arts Family Center to anyone. I promise you will be impressed with the atmosphere and the outstanding Instructors!Jackie Sullivan2023-06-07Jung Martial Arts Family Center teaches authentic Korean Hapkido. It is the perfect place to go for a family activity. Not only does our family bond more on the mat, we are also learning self defense while getting a good workout. Our children have been a part of Jung Martial Arts for several years. Not only have they learned good self defense skills, they also learned good morals and values off the mat. Jung Martial Arts is for anybody with any disability from ages 5 to, well if you are still alive to read this. I would have joined years ago if I wasn't so self conscious of my size. I finally built up the courage and joined. I wish I had joined years ago when I was first interested. Our Hapkido family always accepts anyone with open arms and are non-judgmental. If you have ever thought about learning self defense and want to get in shape while doing it, I highly encourage you to Just Hapkido It! You won't regret it.
