Training that goes beyond typical kicking, punching, and rigid Karate type moves... the Sil Jun Hapkido System enables you to defend yourself and loved ones in virtually any hostile or aggressive situation by utilizing your body’s natural movements while controlling your minds natural fears.

Sil Jun Hapkido literally translated means “The Actual Way of Coordinated Power”

In Sil Jun Hapkido your main objective is not "winning" a fight, but surviving a live threatening situation. Staying alive and uninjured is far more important than defeating an opponent(s). Special “Mindset” training allows the practitioner to gain the ability to switch his thought process from “Fear Mode” into "Survival Mode” in a life threatening or self-defense situation.

Striking and stunning techniques are combined with joint-locks, pressure points, finger and thumb locks, submission and compliance, ground defense, stand-up grappling, and takedowns as defense against empty hand, knife, stick, and gun attacks. When opponent size and strength domination is applied, “force-against-force” will simply not work. Redirecting, diverting, and suppressing the attack will diffuse the attackers energy and use it against them. Stunning techniques and joint manipulations are geared towards preventing your opponent from continuing the assault. Defense tactics are based on continuous movement which help the practitioner avoid attacks and prevent himself from being surrounded or attacked again.

The Sil Jun Hapkido System explains levels of justified force as prescribed by law. Why involve yourself or family in a dangerous situation when you can avoid it? The system promotes permanent awareness, early danger detection, ways of preventing an altercation and escaping. Escape is not considered "cowardice" but a wise way of avoiding unnecessary risk.
