Training at the BCHC


The Bronx Combat Hapkido Center is located in the Williamsbridge section of the Bronx, NY. Our style of Hapkido specializes in realistic street self-defense and self protection for men and women.

In 1990 Grandmaster Pellegrini officially named his style of Hapkido “Combat Hapkido”.  The name clearly identifies it and sets it apart from other “traditional” styles of hapkido.  Also referred to as the “Science of Self-Defense”, the system is officially recognized and accredited as a legitimate kwan of hapkido by the WKF/KKA Kido-Hae.  Combat Hapkido is a truly efficient, dynamic, and brutal fighting art with an emphasis on street self-defense. It combines the strikes, low line kicks, joint locks and breaks, throws, rolls, falls and ground survival moves taken from brazilian jiu-jitsu.

The instruction at BCHC is conducted in a friendly, non-threatening atmosphere while focusing on teaching the most effective concepts and techniques that you will need to defend yourself.  Here at the BCHC, we teach students as individuals according to his or her strengths and weakness.  The exercises and training methods allow students to learn in their own way.  The techniques, principles and concepts that are taught will stay with a person more than just technique alone.  Training at BCHC will truly be enjoyable and rewarding. If you are interested in learning self-defense, BCHC is the program to accommodate your needs.  Call, stop by to watch, or take a trial class.  You'll be glad you did.
