Martial Arts
Grappling in Hapkido in Santa Barbara and Goleta
By Santa Barbara Dojo ·
People looking for grappling in Santa Barbara or Goleta usually want to know if there is a separate class. There is not. The martial art on the schedule at both dojos is Hapkido.
Hapkido is kicks, strikes, joint locks, and throws. At advanced ranks, that training includes grappling. It is part of the same art, taught in the teen and adult Hapkido classes, not a second style added to the weekly list.
Where to train
Downtown Santa Barbara is at 122 E Gutierrez St. Goleta is at 177 S. Turnpike Rd. Master Austin Curtis is Head Instructor in Goleta. Master Ray Janik is Head Instructor Downtown.
Read the Hapkido page for teens and adults for what the class covers. Kids and family classes are separate programs.
