Dear Friend,

My name is Brian Ulsh, and Karate is my life.

Now, I know that a lot of people think Karate is only about learning how to fight...and defend yourself... But the truth is, It's So Much More


...It's really a way of life.


It's about connecting your inner-strength - what the Chinese call “chi”. It's about accomplishing goals you never thought you could. It's about respecting your body and your mind.

When you build your confidence through our training...

A hand is holding a lightning bolt in its palm.

You feel a boundless inner strength

strength that you might not even see in yourself right now.

You discover how to stay calm

even when everything around you is hectic, and unstable.

And you develop the ability to tackle any challenge

succeed - because through mastering Hapkido you see that you can do anything you set your mind to.

Hapkido is a no-nonsense practical self-defense martial art that prepares you for anything life can throw at you.

Techniques that give you a GREAT workout, too

Infact, it’s such a great workout that tons of people see...

Extremely Fast Weight-Loss!

See, your whole body is moving in new ways, every class. You'll move your legs in ways you never have with the different kicks and stances you learn. You'll move your arms in new ways as you learn to strike, block, and hold special stances. And because it engages your whole body - extra weight slips right off of you.


All in all, it's a life-changing experience.


And I believe in it so much that I've dedicated my life to brining Karate to as many people as possible.


It's been my journey to show people how to defend themselves, as well as how to connect to the inner-peace and calm that's there in all of us...


Sometimes we just don't see it.

So, few people realize that the answers to so many of their questions & problems are right here.

It relieves tension and stress.


It relieves back, neck, and other body pain from the relaxing stretching, and constant movement of the body.


And it strengthens your sprirt as you tackle challenge after challenge - always succeeding Aways coming out on top.


There's a reason it's been around so long: It works.


And now, I'd like the opportunity to bring it to you, too.

“I don't get heated up over the little stuff any more...”

One of the things we learn in class is not just how to control our bodies - but how to control our minds and emotions too. I feel now that I have an inner-calm now. It's like nothing can shake me. I'm polite and courteous in situations where I used to sometimes be short with people. I smile genuinely at all of my cus- tomers. I'm more appreciative of my family and friends.


This is NOT just learning how to defend yourself. This is learning how to make your life even better. In every way.

“For the first time in my life, I have a flat, toned stomach!”

This is crazy...Even when I let my stomach hang out- I still see the muscles! I didn't even have a stomach like this in my teen years - or in my 20s.


When we go to the beach... Or when I go for a jog and wear a sports bra... I feel GOOD. No more feeling self-conscious or worried about how I look. I just feel great and energized.


I've honestly never felt better!

Stacie Gray

“I stood up to a 'tough guy' at a party - and he backed down!”

Hey, I was at a party recently and bumped into this guy who got really angry.


I calmly told him, 'Sorry for bumping you, man. I don't want to fight, but if we need to, let's go outside.' I looked him straight in the eyes.


Thanks to a couple of months of Karate, I can now defend myself and won't back down again

Here are a few more of the life changing benefits you can expect from Karate

You'll even feel some of them during your very first class!

Extremely fast weight loss...

Karate is a full-body workout that burns tons of calories. Many people lose weight regardless of diet changes. Of course when you eat right that makes the weight loss even faster. But either way, you're going to drop pounds if you have any pounds to drop.

Having FUN...

This isn't like running on a treadmill for hours and hours... You'll be learning something new and exciting... Accomplishing challenges you never thought you could... Growing in physical strength, and in mental and spiritual strength...

Major Stress Relief...

Nothing relieves more than good, hard exercise. Add to that punching and kicking - and you're looking at the most powerful form stress relief known to man! This alone makes Karate worth it to so many people who don't have an outlet for their stress. When stress is suddenly gone from your life, it leaves space inside of you for good feelings to come.

It's a wonderful thing.

Feeling like you're part of the family right away...

Often are just one class people tell us how they feel like they've known everyone for years. That's because we place a big emphasis on creating not just a great martial arts environment - but a family environment. You'll feel like part of the family in no time. And you'll know your among people who really care about you and your success.

Men

Feel confident in your ability to defend yourself,

and your loved ones. This confidence alone scares away most attackers. When they see how calm and cool you are - they'll think twice. I've seen it happen countless times.

Things that used to frustrate you will dissolve. And rather than getting angry - you'll simply keep your cool.

Teachers find themselves more patient with their students People who work with customers find themselves more focused and calm, even when the customer gets out of line...


See, martial arts is about the way we treat one another, and ourselves. The beautiful movements of self-defense are simply the tool we use to get you there.

“It's so much fun it's ADDICTING “

“I had no idea what I was capable of... It's so much more than I thought.”

Okay, so for me Hapkido was hard at first. My body was NOT used to moving that way! Plus the closest to sports I ever came was cheerleading for a month in high school. But now my body is honestly able to do things I never thought possible. I feel so flexible. And limber. And so full of energy! It's like I wake up and I just want to move, move, move and go do things! I have more energy for my kids, for my job, for my husband, for my friends, and for myself.

Hapkido:

Hapkido, is an esteemed Korean martial art that focuses on self-defense through a comprehensive array of techniques. This art form incorporates joint locks, grappling, throwing techniques, kicks, punches, and various striking attacks. In addition to unarmed combat, Hapkido offers training in traditional weaponry, including knives, swords, ropes, nunchaku (ssang juhl bong), canes (ji pang ee), short sticks (dan bong), middle-length staffs (joong bong), with a distinct emphasis on different weapons depending on the specific tradition.


Hapkido practitioners utilize both long-range and close-range fighting strategies, executing jumping kicks and powerful hand strikes at a distance, while employing pressure point strikes, joint locks, and throws in closer encounters. The art emphasizes the principles of circular motion, force redirection, and opponent control, enabling practitioners to gain an advantage through effective footwork and body positioning—leveraging technique over sheer strength.


The roots of Hapkido trace back to Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu, as taught by Choi Yong-sool, who adapted the art upon his return to Korea after living in Japan for three decades post-World War II. Choi’s system was later enriched by his disciples, incorporating kicking and striking techniques from traditional arts such as Taekkyon and Tang Soo Do, along with various throwing and ground fighting methods from Japanese Judo. Embrace the art of Hapkido and discover the balance of strength, strategy, and skill!
