Hapkido Class Information
Hapkido Class Costs and Requirements:
New Student Special: New students pay $135 -- for this they receive three months of training and a free extra-heavyweight uniform and belt. New Students may also choose to pay their initial tuition in two monthly installments: $80 in the first month, and $70 in the second month. The student still receives three months of training and a uniform and belt. In all cases, after the first three months, the tuition reverts back to $45 per month. Additional Costs: During their Hapkido studies, students will need to buy the following equipment as they progress to black belt.
The student may purchase this equipment from any provider they wish. The NHA does have a dealer account with several martial arts equipment suppliers, so they can arrange wholesale prices for students. However, the student is not required to purchase their equipment from the NHA. Promotional Costs: Hapkido rank is granted by the US Hapkido Association (our national organization). Students who promote receive local rank certificates from the Nebraska Hapkido Association school, and national certificates from the US Hapkido Association. The rank fees are set by the USHA, and they start at $55 for the first test, and increase as the rank increases. Students do not have to pay to test--they merely pay the fee if they take the test and pass, and thus promote to the next rank. These are rank/promotional fees, not testing fees. If they do not pass, no fee is assessed. Testing at lower ranks occurs at a minimum time of 3 months between tests, and the time between tests increases as the rank increases. Belt Ranking in the US Hapkido Association: These are the rankings of the belts (and their colors) for the US Hapkido Association. "Low belts" are the ranks up to and including green belt with blue stripes, "high belts" are blue belts on up. (Normally blue through red w/2 black stripes, since dan ranks are different.) Low Belts
 10th gup: White Belt (then after half the time to next rank, White with black tips) 9th gup: Yellow Belt 8th gup: Yellow w/green stripe 7th gup: Green belt 6th gup: Green w/blue stripe High Belts  5th gup: Blue belt 4th gup: Brown belt 3rd gup: Red belt 2nd gup: Red w/1 black stripe 1st gup: Red w/2 black stripes Black Belt Ranks
