Ai Ki Do/Hap Ki Do

Students develop discipline, strength, wisdom and self confidence that enable them to ignore threats of aggression. When given no other choice students are more than capable of handing themselves in any given situation.

Hap Ki Do and Ai Ki Do are styles of self defense used in medium and close range situations. The practitioner uses the assailant's energy or power against him, and learns to blend and adapt to the attackers movements. The movements consist of attacking the joints using joint locking techniques, throws, take downs, sweeps, kicking and punching. Using both soft and hard style movements, practitioners learn to attack towards vital areas and acupressure points for quick, effective results with the least amount of effort exerted.

Students practice these movements not only for self defense, but also to develop timing, coordination, control, dexterity, joint flexibility, mental sharpness and self confidence. In the beginning, in order to develop a solid foundation, students practice the movements slowly and carefully learning how to use the body and the self defense movements to their maximum efficiency. Later, the student moves on to practice a series of connected movements with one or more partners, not only to improve the mind and body, but to enhance self defense capabilities against one or more assailants. In the Oom Yung Doe style, students learn to defend against attackers with weapons as well as empty hand attacks.
