APPLIED SELF-DEFENCE (HOSINSUL) TRAINING.
A mixed martial art approach to training for self defence.
Tuesday 7-8pm - self-defence and kickboxing/stand up fundamentals.
Tuesday 8-9pm Advanced class.
Thursday 6-7pm Beginners/ fundamentals family and adults self-defence.
Modern training with traditional values. Classes are semi formal in format with a focus on 'hardfun'. Suitable for beginners, those returning to the martial arts or those wanting to add new strings to their bows.
Training includes working on different ranges from pre conflict indicators to striking, close quarter combatives/control and ground work, always with a focus on defence, escape, personal protection and the protection of others. We train to respond to each situation based on threat indicators and the individuals skill level.
We start with escape and evasion, progress to striking options, then to control and destruction. There are no high kicks in this system and the more intricate techniques are learnt progressively with time and experience.
There are no sporting applications in Hosinsul but we do share common techniques from combat sports.
Minimum age is 12 for adults class and there is no maximum age.
There is contact in training and sparring/pressure training at different stages of your development but on a sliding scale of confidence and experience. When you're ready you will know.
HAPKIDO - THURSDAY 7-8PM
Hapkido is a Korean martial art of Self-defence. It incorporates striking, kicks, joint locks throws and ground fighting to defeat and control potential attackers.
Hapkido is a dynamic, flowing art that utilizes circular motions and positioning to off-balance one's opponent to gain a physical advantage over strength. This allows for a smaller, weaker person to subue a stronger oppenent by employing Hapkido technique. All Hapkido techniques employ the three basic principles of Hapkido, hwa (harmony), won (circle) and lyu (flow). The unity of principles is a concept that is fundimental to Hapkido. The principles must work together in concert, combining each to ensure success over the opponent.
The principle of Hwa와 in Korean, 和 in Chinese, literally means peace and harmony. In principle its non-resistance and being in-step with your attackers actions. Meeting any force with only the minimum force needed to deflect or redirect the attackers energy, making their power work against them. In order to properly employ the princle of hwa, one must apprehend the core of breaking down the opponents balance.
The principle of Won원 in Korean, 圓 in Chinese, literally means circle or round. In principle Won describes the motion used to deflect linear attacks. Hapkido employs a wide array of circular motions, though most are small and subtle, performed with the support of the entire body, and at angles which unbalance and destroy an attackers power.
The principle of Lyu유 in Korean, 流 in Chinese, literally means flow, like water flows in a stream. It's the concept of how an attack that overshoots its target slows to a stop before retracting. This "null" energy point is refered to as the Hapki moment in sword fighting. The principle of lyu means to utilize movement in concert with the other principles to nullify your opponent's attacking engery, making them vulnerable to counterattack. It's the "principle of pointing out the weakest moment, while following the flow, and turning it into one's timing of attack."
There are a further two principles of shock and basic which are used to enhance and apply the other core principles.

Our kick boxing programme adds physical/mental discipline to deal with what life may throw at them and adapt to ever changing situations. There is contact in training on a sliding scale of age,confidence and ability There is no requirement to compete outside of club training but there are avenues available to those who show interest through our links with the WKO and other organisations.
There is a grading and belt system in our children's programme but it is focused purely on personal development and syllabus knowledge with no set time schedules. We don't have formal gradings and children will be awarded the next 'level' when they are ready. Quality and understanding are our focus. We don't charge for gradings, belts or certificates with one exception. When a child receives a new coloured belt we charge £5 if they want to keep the old one. Otherwise we recycle it for future children too use.
We are a community club and want to keep costs to a minimum in these challenging times.
