In Indo Hap Ki Do, there are
both physical and mental aspects of training. The physical training in Indo Hap Ki Do is diverse, covering general physical
fitness and conditioning, as well as specific techniques. Because a substantial portion if Indo Hap Ki Do curriculum consists
of throws, the first thing most students learn is how to safely fall or roll. The specific techniques for attack include both
strikes and grabs; the techniques for defense consist of throws and pins. After basic techniques are learned, students move
over to advance techniques. Hapkido training takes place in a dojang. Strength is not a pre-requisite of hapkido;
what strength and fitness is neccessary to perform the techniques develops naturally as a result of training.
