Why Should You Undertake the Diploma Course
With progress come changes in all aspects of our life. We have to learn to accept these changes. Martial Arts is no exception.

Modern man is an intelligent being and to insist on him learning old-aged traditional style Martial Arts, not only insults his intelligence but questions proven advances made over the years in physiological, scientific and medical research. This thereby makes most traditional Martial Arts training, techniques an "aggression only" attitude, obsolete.

Only a very small percentage of people really want to fight, but a huge overwhelming majority do not really want to fight unless their life depends upon it.

That is why this course will enlighten you and elevate your level of education, confidence and skills to a standard incomparable to any other course that will be ever offered by any Martial Art.

It will instill in you, the true authentic philosophy of the Art, which is to promote peace and harmony by encouraging genuine love, care and protection of all things.

The true value of life will only be recognized and enhanced by a person who strives to improve oneself from within. By educating yourself, you allow yourself to utilize your inner potential to become a professionally trained person.

This course will therefore offer you opportunities to discover yourself and set you free to pursue your dreams.

Distance course
P.H.K.D. is a new system, so many people who wish to learn it cannot find schools in their cities that are able to teach the techniques. Personal instruction is the best way to train, but our methods and instructional videos allow students not living near one of our schools to progress from beginner to instructor level at their home.

Each level of mastery is demonstrated on high-quality VHS tape by Soke Schuhmacher and his students. Everything a student needs to progress through the levels is provided in each tape, and Soke Schuhmacher is available by email to answer any questions or to further explain techniques. Students must record themselves performing the requirements for each level and mail their video to the I.P.H.K.D.A., who will then grade the students' performance, assess their skills, and provide feedback. Students that successfully complete a level of training receive a certificate which states their current ranked status.

Progressive Hap-Ki-Do is unique from other martial arts in the fact that there is only one governing body in the world. Only the Soke (Founder) of Progressive Hap-Ki-Do® Klaus Schuhmacher can grant a Progressive Hap-Ki-Do® grades. This is to insure the highest quality of all Progressive Hap-Ki-Do® instructors.

The Progressive Hap-Ki-Do name has been internationally trademarked to keep traditional values. The following page is to disclose to the public the names of all registered and licensed Progressive Hap-Ki-Do® instructors.

If you find someone you know is claiming to be Progressive Hap-Ki-Do® and is not on this list please contact World Headquarters. If you have received a Progressive Hap-Ki-Do® rank from anyone other than Soke Klaus Schuhmacher your rank is not valid and you need to redeem your fees from the grantor then call World Headquarters to schedule a legitimate testing date.
