About HoShinSul

Ho Shin Sul is the core concept of any Martial Art : The ability to defend oneself. In the Korean tradition, it is known for its practicality in self-defense techniques, emphasizing joint locks, throws, strikes, and counterattacks to neutralize threats effectively. Deeply rooted in traditional martial culture, it is yet adaptable to modern scenarios. Ho Shin Sul empowers practitioners with skills for real-life situations.

Why should I learn self-defense from Taipa?

Learning self-defense from Taipa presents a valuable opportunity for several reasons:

Taipa's self-defense program is rooted in the time-tested principles of the Art of Hapkido, known for the effectiveness of his techniques by Korean police and military forces, and the world famous French traditional Art of Savate, practiced since the 18th Century by the French military forces and society.

Taipa's curriculum is carefully designed to cater to individuals of all skill levels and backgrounds through progressive methodology, making it accessible and beneficial for almost any dedicated person.

Taipa prioritizes an Holistic approach looking beyond the unidimensional consideration of self defense practicality , aiming to reach a dynamic of self development in all fields, physical, mental and spiritual, by the development of valuable attributes: Awareness, Concentration, Breathing and Mobility, ensuring that you will be equipped to handle a variety of situations confidently.

Also, by joining Taipa you'll become part of a supportive community dedicated to personal growth, empowerment, and mutual encouragement.
