• Hapkido (Hap-Ki-Do) a self-defensive martial
art
– Many of the holds the police use come from
Hapkido
– We have no initiated attack, we learn to counter
attack aggressors
– Emphasis is always on control, learning to control
yourself in order to control your attacker

• Guazabara – Edged weapon defense
– When weapons are involved on either side of a
confrontation, the game changes dramatically
– In order to understand their defense, you must
train with the very weapons your attacker would
use
– A progressive martial art beginning with sticks and
moving through varying size (small hand knife
through Machete) bladed weapons
