TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR MEMBERS

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.

“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!”

Kristy B. Warriewood

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 exercises 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.

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-yearsold. 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.

"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."

Michael W. Wheeler Heights

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.

 Viv C. Narraweena

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.
