TESTIMONIALS

My boys love going to Hapkido.

Master Brown has the best energy and the boys respect and enjoy his sessions.

I highly recommend Master Brown and Hapkido.

My son, aged 14, is in his 10th year of attending Pittwater Hapkido and is working towards his junior black belt. Hapkido has taught my son coordination, discipline and resilience. It has shown him what can be achieved with persistence. Five years ago, my step-son donned a white belt and as he has acquired skills and moved through the belts, he has gained self confidence, fitness and control. Grand Master Brown and the other leaders are great with kids and adults. The Pittwater Hapkido environment is welcoming and inspiring and a great community for our family to be a part of -

Thank you Grandmaster Brown for creating such an incredible space to learn the craft of Hapkido.

I am beyond grateful to have found Pittwater Hapkido for my young daughter, watching her in class I see that she feels strong and confident and I love watching her so in control of her body and movements all while having fun!

Grandmaster Brown is a kind and gentle man (and an absolute ‘Grandmaster’ of his craft) who guides the children so beautifully making them feel very comfortable and safe while strengthening their body and mind.

We will be attending Pittwater Hapkido for many years to come.

Master Brown is wonderful with children of all ages. He is patient, yet firm, makes sure the kids are respectful, but that they have fun, and he pursues a high level of achievement for them. Hapkido is a great martial art with it’s mix of skill-based excercises and patterns, fitness, and self defence. We have been very grateful to have Master Brown and his team as teachers and invaluable mentors for our children over the years, and going forward. I cannot recommend Pittwater Hapkido highly enough.

“My 5yr old daughter recently started with Master Brown and this was her first introduction to Hapkido. She is absolutely loving it and can’t wait to go every week. Master Brown is excellent in engaging with the kids and works hard to ensure each child is learning new skills and also having lots of fun along the way!”

I was training in another martial art from age 14 to around 40 years of age. I always enjoyed the training and gained a lot in terms of self-confidence and fitness, however, I had to stop due to both family and work commitments.

Then when we were both age 67, I was surprised by my wife who said she always wanted to learn a martial art. I thought we might be a little too old but after seeing a promotional video for Hapkido we decided to give it a try and joined Grand Master Kevin Brown’s club.

I can’t speak more highly of Grand Master Brown. He personally has tremendous ability and technical skill but above all he is highly competent in assessing a student’s abilities and limitations and then training them in a way that develops them in a manner and at the pace they need. He shows incredible patience and understanding and works with children as young as 4 years up to someone like me, now 70. There are no ego issues amongst the students and the comradery in the club is amazing.

Hapkido is an all-encompassing martial art that is designed as a very effective method of self -defence. It includes techniques for defending against both unarmed and armed assailants and multiple attackers. I can’t recommend it more highly to people of all ages and genders and really thank my wife and Grand Master Brown for rejuvenating my interest and love of this kind of self development.

We have been very grateful to have Master Brown and his team as teachers and invaluable mentors for our children over the years, and going forward. I cannot recommend Pittwater Hapkido highly enough.

We are reasonably new to Pittwater Hapkido, but my 5 (and now 7 year old) both love their classes with Master Brown.

It is such a welcoming environment, Kevin is very caring and fantastic with the kids. We highly recommend to anyone!

My 14-year-old son started training with Grand Master Brown when he was barely 5-years-old. Under the tutelage and gentle guidance of GM Brown, I've had the privilege and the pleasure of watching my little boy become a skilled, confident, strong, and respectful young man. What he's learned goes beyond self-defence skills, he's also learned what it means to be consistent, to show up, to be okay with being uncomfortable, and to continue to improve oneself. I could not have found a better teacher, club, or community to help foster these qualities in my son.

I started Hapkido as a rather hesitant 43-year-old mum not knowing whether my body could manage all that was required of me. However, with the support and guidance of GM Brown, I find myself a black belt at 51. Hapkido is no longer something I do, it's become a big part of who I am and what I look forward to every week. I'm proud of what I've achieved, but I'm also very grateful for the community and friendships that have grown since starting with GM Brown all those years ago.

"What a fantastic martial arts club! My son has trained Hapkido under Grand Master Brown for nearly 10 years, and has not only developed skills in martial arts, but also self discipline and a sense of community. A great place to train."

I have always wanted to do a martial art but life and raising a family got in the way. At 67, I enquired to Pittwater Hapkido about classes. I was welcomed and given trial classes. Grand Master Brown has always been encouraging and incredibly patient, adapting for me when needed. His own technique is exceptional and his gentle guidance brings out the best in all his students.

Four years later I am still there and now a very proud blue belt. It’s great exercise and keeps me moving but there is also such a positive and warm camaraderie in his classes where students encourage and applaud each others’ successes whatever age. When old enough my grandchildren will be attending this club for sure. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
