The IMHF offers Modern Hapkido, 100% Self Defense for today’s society.

We have done research on major Hapkido systems.

We found that they all share a core of standard techniques as well as a set of unique skills or special techniques based on that system’s founder and his beliefs.

Modern Hapkido contains the core of standard techniques that is found in these recognized traditional Hapkido systems. Its unique skills and special techniques deal with updating and adaptations to deal with new violent situations.

Therefore, it stresses self defense including those against modern weapons like tactical folding knives and martial art styles that have developed recently or were never considered in traditional Hapkido such as western wrestling, Brazilian Jujitsu, Vale Tudo, and “No Holds Barred” Mixed Martial Arts.

Therefore, Modern Hapkido has a major emphasis on Women’s self defense techniques that recognizes both the psychological factors and attack scenarios of a sexual assault and teaches how to deal with them mentally and physically.

The IMHF affords it members the opportunity to train at our member’s schools as well as at our seminars and training camps. We offer testing, promotion and internationally recognized rank and instructor certification. All of these benefits are open exclusively to IMHF members.

The IMHF fees are very reasonable. There are other associations that charge much higher fees than the IMHF, and there are those who charge much less.

Those who charge much more seem to be motivated purely by a profit motive rather than wanting to form life long relationships based on training together.

Those that charge much less fit the old adage of “you get what you pay for.”

Many associations that charge much less are small organizations that cannot offer you any real support, they are selling paper.

The IMHF will spend time helping your school and improving your students skills. We work with you on the mat.

The IMHF is recognized internationally. Our representatives rank among the best martial artists in the world.

We ask all of our members to become actively involved in making the IMHF the best Hapkido and self defense arts federation anywhere.
