Haetae Martial Arts 61 O'Sullivan Beach Road, Lonsdale, South Australia 5160

Welcome to Haetae Martial Arts, located at 61 O'Sullivan Beach Road, Lonsdale, Australia. We are an establishment that focuses on self-defence, traditional martial arts, and promoting good health. At Haetae Martial Arts, we specialize in teaching the Korean martial arts of Taekwondo and Hapkido.

Our institution takes its name from Haetae, also known as Haechi, a mythical creature known for its role as a guardian and protector of the innocent. It is said to bring happiness and good fortune. We aim to embody these qualities in our training, creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where students can improve their self-defence skills, self-improvement, and overall well-being.

Taekwondo, the most popular Korean martial art, is known for its dynamic and powerful kicking and striking techniques. However, at Haetae Martial Arts, we emphasize the martial art aspect rather than the sport. Taekwondo is a comprehensive self-defence system that incorporates grappling and joint-locking techniques. It is still used in the Korean army for training their troops. By learning Taekwondo with us, you will not only improve your fitness, confidence, and flexibility but also gain practical and effective self-defence techniques.

Haetae Martial Arts is associated with the prestigious Kukkiwon (World Taekwondo Headquarters) and the Korea Tae Kwon Do Moo Duk Kwan, ensuring that our training is of the highest standard.

In addition to Taekwondo, we also offer training in Hapkido, which means the way of coordinated power. Hapkido techniques focus on blending with the energy of the attacker to defend oneself rather than meeting their power head-on. It involves joint-locking, grappling, throwing techniques, and strikes to subdue an opponent. Hapkido is a comprehensive martial arts system that also incorporates the use of various weapons such as the short stick, walking cane, rope/belt, and staff. It is taught to law enforcement groups, military personnel, and security personnel worldwide.

At Haetae Martial Arts, we believe in providing quality instruction with personal attention. With small class sizes, you will receive the individualized instruction you deserve. Our head instructor, Damian Adams, has over 30 years of martial arts experience and is internationally qualified and registered in each art.

Our current class schedule includes Taekwondo and Hapkido classes for both juniors and adults on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Private training sessions are also available by appointment during weekdays. Additionally, we are proud to be associated with E Fitness, a private training fitness company.

If you are looking to train on a different day or are interested in something different, we recommend checking out Tatakai Martial Arts Academy, which operates independently out of the same location.

Join us at Haetae Martial Arts and experience the benefits of martial arts training in a supportive and empowering environment. Start your journey towards self-defence, self-improvement, and good health today.
