Martial Arts Carolina

We offer 3 effective martial art programs TaeKwonDo American Hapkido Combatives and American Arnis Concepts. When combined the result is an extremely comprehensive self defense system. Our TaeKwonDo program - A Korean “stand up” martial art - combines traditional & artistic techniques and formwork with dynamic & highly energetic blocking, hand striking, kicking, aerial attacks, self defense techniques and free-sparring. Our American Hapkido Combatives program  was developed by PROMAA (Pacific Rim Originating Martial Arts Association). Hapkido combines hand to hand combative skills such as joint manipulation, balance disruption, and throws.  American Arnis Concepts is a synthesis of Filipino combative techniques that includes empty hand, stick and edged weapons. This is a great compliment to Martial Art Carolina’s stand up fighting and joint locking arts. Students in this class will practice with rattan sticks; aluminum training knives and padded weapons. This is a fast paced, energy intensive class. A great way to lose weight and learn self-defense - the Filipino way! All programs teach striking, blocking & kicking, joint locking, basic ground grappling & basic weapons disarming in a safe, fun, and disciplined environment.
