Upper Hutt Martial Arts Academy

Fantastic experience: My 8-year-old has been attending classes here for three years, and the progress is amazing. The instructors are fantastic with kids, teaching skills, agility, and self-defense in a way that builds confidence and discipline. They also make sure children understand when it’s appropriate to use these techniques. The mindset taught in this program helps in so many areas. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a place to bring the family to give them the essential martial arts and self-defence skills then look no further. I have been a member myself for almost a decade now, and my all of kids have benefitted as well. Master Callum has built an outstanding school with so much to offer - whether that is traditional hapkido, weapons, ground skills, sparring and self-defence. I have learned so much and still have so much to look forward to in my journey here. The community is so supportive. We've all gained confidence, resilience, and valuable self-defence skills. Highly recommend for both kids and adults, men and women. Come give martial arts a try, you'll be better for it.

Fantastic experience: Master Callum and his instructors are thorough and make the learning process enjoyable. We’re a year into our Hapkido journey and our son looks forward to each and every training session. The change in him over this time has been huge. He’s gained self-confidence, he is more willing to try new things, he is more respectful, he sets goals and sticks to them, he’s had opportunities to help others and he’s made some great friends. The enthusiasm is contagious. I’ve recently joined and also find myself looking forward to each class.
