Healing Martial Arts™

(Kids and Adults)

The Healing Martial Arts™ (HMA) program is Hiruko’s flagship service. HMA is the active integration of physical expressive arts (with an emphasis on Tae Kwon Do), healing arts (Qigong, Tai Chi, and Acupressure) and contemplative practice.

It teaches participants, in an age appropriate way, a comprehensive set of life skills they can actively use for themselves and in their communities. These skills include:

• Knowledge of and deep trust in one’s body
• Steadfast self-confidence; deeply believing in oneself
• A keen sense of self-awareness
• Sharp focus and concentration
• Ability to let go of mistakes and persevere; observable grit
• Overcoming limiting beliefs
• Ability to cope with pressure and stress
• Courage and power to advocate for oneself with boldness and humility
• Ability to create long-term powerful relationships

The HMA curriculum is creatively and continuously woven through the insights and innovations of the students, instructors, founders and advisers and it allows the student to observe, learn, adapt, and combine concepts in ways that are intuitive, motivational, empowering, and – most importantly – enjoyable.

The HMA method was designed by the Hiruko founders. Its core objective is to use the martial arts as a metaphor for being “Unstoppable” in life. The Hiruko black belt represents a commitment to personal excellence inside of the wide and open realm of possibilities available to each participant.
