West's Hapkido Academy

Good Morning!
July 18-19, Chief Master Mangum will be teaching at the Akayama Ryu Summer Camp in New Orleans. For those interested, a mix of Ju-Jutstu, Judo and Aikido are usually taught. This clan is much like our USKMAF group- a great bunch of practitioners and instructors. Below is the link for registration ($60) and a picture of this summer’s t-shirts. Please post your size in the comments if you are registered to go, ASAP.

Akayama Ryu Jujutsu Summer Camp 2026 Akayama Ryu Jujutsu is a tradition-based system of self defense.

Happy Independence Day!!

Dear friends,

Community is just as important to us as the hapkido we teach here at West’s Hapkido Academy. While our student members are free to hold their own personal beliefs, West’s Hapkido Academy itself does not take a stance on any political issues or align with any political party. We are a wonderful bunch…a motley crew, if you will, of authentic souls from all walks of life, that come together with a common love of martial arts and all good things in this world. Our mission is simple: to provide a welcoming space and excellent service for all. We appreciate your support of West’s Hapkido Academy and we look forward to being a place of good friends, good laughs, and, as our beloved teacher and friend, J.R.West would say, “…good times had by all.”
See you on the mats!
