About Combat Won Hwa Do Academy
WonHwaDo is a relatively new Korean martial art, founded in 1972 by Bong-Ki Han. The name means, roughly, ‘The Way of Circular Harmony’ (Won = Circle, Hwa = Harmony, Do = Way). The basis of the art lies in circular motion, effectively making use of full 360° rotations of the key joints of the human body. This serves to conserve energy and reduce the risk of injury caused by forced linear action.
COMBAT WON HWA DO (CWHD)
Combat WonHwaDo is a new reality based martial art with its concept of circular motion taken directly from traditional WHD. Having trained and mastered various martial arts over the past 23 years Ken Byrne has taken taken his WHD training to the next level by doing away with much of the traditional aspect that slowed down the development of WHD.
By using only the techniques that work efficientaly and incorporating a reality based self-defence concept into every day training has Combat WonHwaDo evolved into a truly effective system.
A typical adults class will consist of warm-up followed by forms practice, and intense "fight simulation" drills using CWHD self defence techniques such as.
Knife/Stick/Gun & Empty hand defence.
COMBAT WON HWA DO (CWHD) FOR KIDS
Kids classes and techniques are more game based, with dangerous techniques being replaced with a safe and fun anti bullying training program that will help keep them safe and out of trouble in school etc. Another ground breaking program that all our kids classes have is "Success For Life" SFL life skills. This incorporates various life skills such as FOCUS, FAMILY TEAM WORK, PERSEVERANCE, CONCENTRATION and KINDNESS to name just a few.
