2023 NOV, Authentic World Master Class Martial Arts Seminar in SEOUL, KOREA.

Over the last few years there has been a growing realization of a need for some aware Martial Art (MA) instructors and practitioners to re-visit and re-assess their Self Defense (SD) roots due to an over emphasis on Martial Sports. LifeCraft Asia (LCA) has recognized this need and since 2012 has organized many specialized training and goodwill visits to South Korea that allows MA (especially Korean style based) Masters, Instructors and practitioners to benchmark their SD skills and knowledge against world standards.

All martial artists are welcome. Participants will be shown how to strategize and execute effective self-defense against a variety of attacks based on several viewpoints.

LCA (after a 3 year hiatus due to the global pandemic) is again organizing a very special 8 day World Class Martial Art Retreat in Seoul, South Korea from Friday 24th November 2023 until Friday 3rd December 2023. The Retreat will incorporate 6 full days of outstanding global gold standard classes in Hosinsul or Self Defense plus a special visit to the Kukkiwon (World Taekwondo HQ).

Come experience some of the best Korean martial arts has to offer.
Regardless of discipline or lineage, LifeCraft Asia is giving individuals the opportunity to learn from some of the best (legendary) Korean masters; still honing their art and skills after decades practice and refinement. Our focus is on proven practical, effective yet elegant HoSinSul (or applied self-defense) applications and executions via some of the best premier Masters in South Korea. This trip would benefit the following most: Taekwondo practitioners from 4 Geup to 8 Dan who want to truly improve their Self Defense skills and knowledge; Hapkido practitioners who want to benchmark their own standards against some of the world’s best Masters. Of course all other Martial Arts practitioner are very welcome!
