ABOUT

KWAN NYOM HAPKIDO

Kwan Nyom is the name given to the style or family of Hapkido taught by the International Hapkido Alliance. The name translates from Korean as the School of Concepts and was created by Grandmaster Geoff in June 1999. Kwan Nyom reflects the way we teach Hapkido – the core techniques are the same as most other traditional Hapkido schools, but it is the way in which we teach them that is different.

Traditionally Hapkido is taught as set responses to set grabs i.e. 10 releases from wrist grab, then 10 from cross wrist grab, etc. This means that the student will see a wide variety of techniques repeated throughout the process of learning a defence from each of the major grabs and attacks.
