Laird’s Academy of Martial Arts

Korean Martial Arts, Ages 5yrs.+

Ho Kuk Mu Sul is a hard/soft style of martial arts that is as beautiful to watch as it is efficient to use. It incorporates the principles of Flowing Water (Yu), Harmony (Hwa) and the Circle (Won). This traditional system is a comprehensive mix of style that includes components of Hapkido (joint locks), Judo (throwing/falling), Tae Kwon Do (kicking/punching), Kung Fu (flowing circular attacks, and Tai Chi (Ki training).

Our Program Teaches Practical self defense while standing, on the ground, against weapons, and multiple attackers. We teach pressure point attacks so that you can choose how much (or how little) damage will be caused in disabling your opponent.

All classes are all ages and all levels, so you can be there to encourage and support your family while facing the challenges of martial arts training. You will feel a revitalized quest for overcoming challenges in your life, and learn that most problems are actually opportunities for self-improvement.

Classes are ongoing and can be joined at any time.

Our Goal

To help students improve their lifestyles by developing their body, mind, and character to the maximum of their potential.

Our Teaching Philosophy

To maintain an atmosphere of respect, not fear, while encouraging our students to become better than ourselves at martial arts. We achieve this goal through patience, humility, understanding, and the development of self confidence in our students. Great teaching involves stripping away the student’s self-inflicted obstacles more than it involves adding skills.
