Hapkido Australia — one national standard
Hapkido Australia is the national body for Hapkido — the Korean martial art of joint locks, throws and self-defence. We hold a single standard for grading, recognise ranks across styles, certify instructors, and run seminars nationwide.
One standard for Hapkido grading in Australia
Hapkido is a Korean martial art built on joint locks, throws, kicks and practical self-defence. Hapkido Australia gives every student, instructor and club one consistent measure of technique and rank — so a grade earned in one dojang means the same across the country.
One measure of quality
Hapkido technique, teaching, and conduct assessed against a single documented standard — not club-by-club interpretation.
Open across styles
Practitioners from any Hapkido lineage are recognised on review. The standard unifies; it does not exclude.
Documented and current
Controlled documents, versioned and reviewed annually. What is required is written down and available.
