Manchester Martial Arts School Offering Classes Through MCC

Credit-Free Martial Arts Classes Now Available This Fall!

WE’RE GOING TO COLLEGE!

That’s right… starting this fall, the Academy will be offering TWO new programs through Manchester Community College’s Credit-Free program: “Hapkido” and “Train Like a Jedi” programs!

Hapkido is a traditional Korean martial art that emphasizes joint locks, throws and sweeps to defend oneself. Through the use of biomechanics and and your opponent’s own energy, Hapkido students learn to unbalance and control an opponent’s attack. The art of Hapkido is excellent for learning how to overcome a larger attacker.

Our “Train Like a Jedi” program is an exciting blend of “American Ninja Warrior” and “Star Wars”! Our students learn martial arts, parkour (free running), acrobatics, and, of course, how to wield a lightsaber with the grace and fluidity of Jedi!
