Welcome to Self Defence Paekakariki (SDPK)
Self Defence Paekakariki (SDPK) is based
at a school in a small seaside village on
the Kapiti Coast. We teach a martial art
style named Combat Hapkido and although our New Zealand Head Office
is based in Upper Hutt, we originate from
the United States.
You may not hear our name as much as some
of the more traditional martial art styles
but we’ve been here in New Zealand
since 1999. A team of Instructors and students
will be heading to the United States in 2012
to represent New Zealand at the 20th anniversary of Combat Hapkido.
Combat Hapkido is also referred to as ‘the
ultimate self defence system’ which
is due to the realistic and versatile discipline
of self protection. There are no fancy kicks
and strikes because a self defence system
does not require them.
We welcome all ages, sexes and occupations.
You’re welcome whether you’re
studying an existing martial art or you’re
completely new to the arts.
If your questions aren’t answered on
our site, please feel free to contact us.
