Chang's Hapkido Academy, located in Lombard, IL, was founded by Grandmaster Gedo Chang, a master with extensive roots in South Korean martial arts. After gaining recognition as a Master of Hapkido in 1964, he brought his expertise to the United States in 1973, establishing a school that emphasizes the art of self-defense suitable for all ages and abilities.

Hapkido, derived from the concepts of harmony, inner energy, and disciplined self-control, encompasses a range of skills including throws, kicks, joint manipulation, and meditation. The academy's curriculum is designed to subdue opponents effectively while minimizing the risk of injury.
