Welcome to the World Taekwondo Hapkido Division — a sophisticated and intelligent approach to martial arts training designed to grow with you through every stage of life. Built upon over 30 years of martial arts leadership within World Taekwondo, our Hapkido program provides a practical pathway for students seeking greater self-defence capability, technical depth, personal confidence, and long-term physical wellbeing. Using principles of leverage, balance, redirection, joint locking, pressure point control, and traditional weapons training, students learn how to respond with awareness rather than panic, precision rather than force, and confidence rather than fear. Whether you are a parent seeking practical self-defence, a teenager looking for greater challenge and identity, a Black Belt wanting to expand your martial arts knowledge, or an adult searching for a sustainable way to train, the World Taekwondo Hapkido Division provides a pathway that extends far beyond competition and continues long after many martial arts journeys end.

For more than two decades, Grand Master Wahid Halimee has taught Hapkido to World Taekwondo students through specialist classes, seminars, instructor development programs, and advanced self-defence training. The World Taekwondo Hapkido Division is not a new idea. It is the next stage of a journey already decades in the making.

The World Taekwondo Hapkido Division forms part of a lifelong martial arts pathway developed over more than 30 years of teaching in South Australia. From Taekwondo to Hapkido, from beginners to Black Belts, from youth to adulthood, our mission remains the same: Helping people build confidence, character, practical skills, and a love of martial arts that lasts a lifetime.
