About the class

It is a Hopaesul class that invented the non-martial arts of the Joseon Dynasty as the best modern self-defense technique.


Hopaesul is a martial art of self-defense that was invented and systematically developed from the use of 'hopae', an identification card in the Joseon Dynasty, as a weapon in case of emergency. No matter how good a weapon is, if you can't carry it, you won't be able to use it in case of emergency, right? The weapon Hopae used in Hopaejutsu can be carried anytime, anywhere, and you will also have the mindset that you will use it honorably as an identification card with your name engraved on it.

It is recommended that you learn self-defense techniques to protect yourself in a situation where assaults frequently occur. Hopaejutsu is easy to learn and its power is so great that you can defeat your opponent with just a little training. Also, if you have the confidence that you can protect yourself without using hopaejutsu, you will be able to enjoy a much more comfortable and relaxed life.

*This class is taught in English for the globalization of Hopaesul, and Korean subtitles can be created.

Notes before taking the course

- Please prepare a hopae for the class

3 reasons why this class is special


❶ Weapon technology optimized for modern self-defense

The biggest attraction of Hopaesul is that they can be used in case of emergency because they are small in size and can be carried with you at all times. Since it is bladeless and made of wood, it can be carried on an airplane, making it a good choice for frequent travelers.


❷ World’s only, Korea’s unique weapon technology

Hopae is like an identification document in the Joseon Dynasty. In case of emergency, the hopae was used for self-defense, and it is a unique weapon technology unique to our people that cannot be seen in any other country in the world.

❸ Learn quickly and easily, and the effect is powerful!

Hopaesul is a weapon technique that revolves around a rope. However, it is structured so that it can be learned very easily with the wisdom of our ancestors, so women can also learn it easily and use it as a self-defense weapon.
