Ways to train:

Seminars

Master Beck is available to teach occasional seminars, whether in Hapkido, Taekwondo, Arnis, or self-defense. He has taught many self-defense seminars over the years to varied audiences: the general public, existing BMA and Sun Lee students; sororities; a TKD group at a corporation, even a Dallas law office.

In addition, Master Beck is very interested in seeing Hapkido grow in the DFW area. To that end, he has hosted other instructors in the past and will continue to do so. For more information, visit the DFW-Hapkido Mailing List page.

Hapkido Group Classes

Classes are 3 times a week, administered through the city of Plano's recreation department; currently Tuesday and Thursday evening 8-9 PM and Saturday mornings 9-10 AM.

Aerobic Kickboxing Group Classes

There are no current group classes in aerobic kickboxing. I've done it before but it tends to attract people that just want to lose weight in a fun way and in a short time There's nothing wrong with that; it just has nothing to do with ongoing martial arts training that can help keep the weight off indefinately.

Private lessons

Tailor your training as you see fit! HKD, TKD, Arnis, aerobic kickboxing, generalized self-defense, weapon defenses, wheelchair defenses, etc. The current rate is $100 per hour.

House-Call Private Lessons

Master Beck can come to you! You can train in your own home! The current rate is $100/hour (same as regular private lessons) within a 20 mile round-trip, plus $1 a mile for travel expenses beyond 20 miles.

Semi-Private Lessons

2-5 people can tailor some directed training. The current rate is $150 an hour. House call semi-privates are the same rate plus $1 a mile for travel expenses beyond 20 miles just as with regular private lessons.
