THE WARREN-WATCHUNG CONNECTION
SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2015
165 Washington Valley Road, Warren, NJ 07059 By: Joanne Kleinle THE HAPKIDO CENTER OF WARREN Many know of the myriad of bene- fits derived from Hapkido, an ancient martial art form that is defensive in nature and traces its roots back to Bud- dhism. Now, Grand Master Chong Min Lee of The Hapkido Center of War- ren wants to share how Hapkido can help in easing pain. He is offering FREE classes for senior citizens to experience the benefits of Hapkido’s breathing and exercise techniques to remove pain. These classes will be offered FREE to senior citizens every Thursday from 11-12 pm. Hapkido’s origins and philosophy can be traced to ancient Buddhism. Unlike Karate and Tae-Kwon Do, its philosophy and posture is totally defensive. Hapkido uses ancient med- ical knowledge to promote proper breathing and focus. The size, weight and strength of the sparring partners is irrelevant because a Hapkido practi- tioner defends against attacks by tak- ing advantage of about 650 vulnerable pressure points in the attacker’s body. Grand Mas- ter Lee is a Ninth Degree Black Belt, is President of the World Hapkido A s s o c i a t i o n (encompassing over 60 schools) and is the Mas- ter Instructor of the Hapkido Center in Warren as well as satellite schools in Morristown and Seoul, Korea. His expertise in Hapkido is equaled only by his love and ability to teach it to his students. His classes include students of all ages and abili- ties. He has also conducted training classes for various police departments and even a Special Forces group of the Korean Army. If you are a senior citizen and inter- ested in attending his free classes, or a student of any age or ability interested in being trained in Hapkido and learn- ing of the far reaching benefits of this martial art form, please call The Hap- kido Center of Warren 908-917- 7214. The Hapkido Center of War- ren is located at 165 Washington Val- ley Road in Warren. Try it out for your- self, you will not be disappointed!
