Whilst still easily distracted and respond well to fun activities, they are starting to show a genuine interest in learning Martial Arts. We teach our Falcons a syllabus far more advanced than what our Wallabies learn. In fact, many of the techniques are the same as what the Teenagers and Adults learn. In reality, the Falcon program is a transition between what the kids learn and what the adults learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What do we teach the Falcons?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/asiapacificselfdefence.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240423_175036-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-210 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asiapacificselfdefence.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240423_175036-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asiapacificselfdefence.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240423_175036-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asiapacificselfdefence.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240423_175036-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asiapacificselfdefence.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240423_175036-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asiapacificselfdefence.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240423_175036-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>The syllabus is age appropriate. It excludes many of the techniques taught to the teenagers and adults. This is so we can ensure that an appropriate level of maturity accompanies those more aggressive techniques. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The program will bully proof them and ensure they understand that Martial Arts is about discipline and controlled aggression. In other words, they only use their skills and knowledge to protect themselves or someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We teach our Falcons the importance of our values, which are: Courage (moral and physical), Integrity, Loyalty and Mateship. Falcons are encouraged: to build resilience; have a dream; be true to themselves; be the best they can be; and aim for things just out of reach. We want to set up for success in the future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We aim to give the Falcons a fun way of learning Martial Arts, whilst exercising, developing self-control, respect for others and social and physical skills they can take into their adult lives. Through the Hapkido classes, they learn self-defence techniques that really work. At the same time they are developing motor skills, coordination, fitness and stamina. History also shows that if they stick with the Martial Arts, they will make friends for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>We encourage mutual respect and support!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/asiapacificselfdefence.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240423_174838-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-209 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asiapacificselfdefence.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240423_174838-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asiapacificselfdefence.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240423_174838-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asiapacificselfdefence.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240423_174838-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asiapacificselfdefence.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240423_174838-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asiapacificselfdefence.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240423_174838-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:37% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/asiapacificselfdefence.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240423_174736-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-218 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asiapacificselfdefence.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240423_174736-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/asiapacificselfdefence.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240423_174736-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asiapacificselfdefence.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240423_174736-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/asiapacificselfdefence.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240423_174736-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asiapacificselfdefence.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240423_174736-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/asiapacificselfdefence.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240423_174736-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Our Falcon Hapkido classes are not as formal as other schools.
