About Self Defence Lower Hutt
Self Defence Lower Hutt was founded by Mr Whiro Ratahi who is one of the founding students now holding the position of Event Coordinator for Head Office.
Combat Hapkido style relies on technique, science, and general awareness and our Aim is for students to develop confidence to keep themselves safe in every day situations. We have anecdotal evidence of school pupils surviving bullying in playgrounds and enroute to school because of lessons and skills learnt at Combat Hapkido classes.
We will help students with their personal self defence development plan and set up strategies to achieve the desired training outcomes. We want students and visitors going away with useful and relevant defensive information and students may graduate through the ‘colour belt’ syllabus by way of examinations that are conducted three times per year.
Our training philosophy is to encourage and enable students achieve their personal goals, to accomplish syllabus blocks of requirements, and at the same time to enjoy the journey through an International Training Programme.
Supreme physical fitness is not critical to be successful in Combat Hakido. However, through targeted training objectives we are confident that fitness levels will improve. All students will be encouraged to give maximum effort but have the personal responsibility and maturity to pace themselves.
Combat Hapkido has a strong Code of Conduct and procedures and is 100% Self Defence orientated.
Initially we accept appropriate casual Clothing suitable for fitness regime. However, those who wish to attain the International qualification full dobok (uniform) must be worn.
Instructors are certified to conduct the training programmes and teach accurate strikes, kicks, rolls, take down techniques, legal issues – and much more. Instructors are also familiar with preferred learning styles, lesson plans, assessments, personal aims, objectives, and action plans.
We will do our best to ensure students have as many magic moments as possible.
