schools before finally finding Eagle Martial Arts. The first thing I noticed was how friendly everyone was, no one was there to judge my capabilities but rather take time out from their own training and help me with any of my weaknesses. Training under Greg and Scott Walters has been the best decision for me because while they maintain all the traditional aspects of Hapkido there&#039;s very much a &quot;real life approach&quot; angle to their training. I have found with a lot of other martial art schools you can go through belts quickly but you never really learn to defend yourself. That&#039;s what separates Eagle Martial Arts from other schools. Their instructors are constantly drilling us, helping us and turning us into more confident students in and outside the school. There is a strong community feeling in the club and many of us have become friends outside of the club too.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"owl-carousel-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-image-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-image\" src=\"https:\/\/eaglema.com.au\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/daniel.png\" alt=\"Daniel\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-quote-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-quote-left\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M464 256h-80v-64c0-35.3 28.7-64 64-64h8c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24V56c0-13.3-10.7-24-24-24h-8c-88.4 0-160 71.6-160 160v240c0 26.5 21.5 48 48 48h128c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48V304c0-26.5-21.5-48-48-48zm-288 0H96v-64c0-35.3 28.7-64 64-64h8c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24V56c0-13.3-10.7-24-24-24h-8C71.6 32 0 103.6 0 192v240c0 26.5 21.5 48 48 48h128c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48V304c0-26.5-21.5-48-48-48z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-name\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDaniel\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-position\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStudent\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-divider\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-testimonial\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor me, training at Eagle Martial Arts at the start was a fun way to keep healthy and to learn how to protect myself, it was a fairly natural progression coming from Taekwondo. Scott was a friend from uni, asked if I was interested in learning another self defence martial art and the rest is history. The club here at Glen Waverley has gone through some changes from back then, however the important value that hasn&#039;t change is that community feeling with the instructors and other members, in addition knowing that we are part of the larger association. There are other members not only in Australia but around the world especially in Korea training in similar techniques to what we do. To me, training at Eagle Martial Arts has a strong focus on basic self defence and due to its dynamic nature, can be altered to suit the individual. Once you have mastered the basics, it&#039;s how you interpret them and utilize them that makes the difference. Training at Eagle Martial Arts has built my confidence, kept my body and health in good check and shaped my inner strength to bring out the best in me.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"owl-carousel-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-image-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-image\" src=\"https:\/\/eaglema.com.au\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/unknown2.png\" alt=\"Michael\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-quote-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-quote-left\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M464 256h-80v-64c0-35.3 28.7-64 64-64h8c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24V56c0-13.3-10.7-24-24-24h-8c-88.4 0-160 71.6-160 160v240c0 26.5 21.5 48 48 48h128c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48V304c0-26.5-21.5-48-48-48zm-288 0H96v-64c0-35.3 28.7-64 64-64h8c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24V56c0-13.3-10.7-24-24-24h-8C71.6 32 0 103.6 0 192v240c0 26.5 21.5 48 48 48h128c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48V304c0-26.5-21.5-48-48-48z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-name\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMichael\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-position\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStudent\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-divider\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-testimonial\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI have Hapkido to thank for making me the person I am today. Through it, I have learnt not only how to protect myself but also how to better myself. It has no doubt improved my respect, discipline, confidence and also fitness over the 4 years I have been training. My instructors have always been there to support me and provide guidance both in training and outside, they have are role models to me and I look up to them not only as martial artists but as the person I strive to become. Training for Hapkido doesn&#039;t stop when I?m outside the Dojang because it&#039;s found in everything I do and I appreciate this aspect of Hapkido the most\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"owl-carousel-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-image-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-image\" src=\"https:\/\/eaglema.com.au\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tony.png\" alt=\"Anthony\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-quote-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-quote-left\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M464 256h-80v-64c0-35.3 28.7-64 64-64h8c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24V56c0-13.3-10.7-24-24-24h-8c-88.4 0-160 71.6-160 160v240c0 26.5 21.5 48 48 48h128c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48V304c0-26.5-21.5-48-48-48zm-288 0H96v-64c0-35.3 28.7-64 64-64h8c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24V56c0-13.3-10.7-24-24-24h-8C71.6 32 0 103.6 0 192v240c0 26.5 21.5 48 48 48h128c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48V304c0-26.5-21.5-48-48-48z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-name\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAnthony\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-position\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStudent\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-divider\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-testimonial\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI played competitive basketball since age 16 and at age 55 a knee injury put an end to this much loved past time and I was looking for new challenges that did not require too much stress on the knees. My son, Cameron, had been a student of Hapkido for some 12 months and suggested that I might like to give it a try. Having had a passing interest in martial arts over the years this piqued my interest and I attended a few classes to see how I would go. Some 5+ years later the rest as they say is history. The great thing about this martial art discipline, and this club, is that they are more than willing to adjust techniques etc to suit the individual?s physical limitations. They certainly expect that you be the best that you can be and strive for perfection, but if one is physically unable to master certain techniques they will work out an alternative for you that will achieve the same result. For me with the limitations placed on me by my knee this has been a godsend. Finally, from my point of view, our instructors being Grand Master Greg Walters (8th Dan) and his son Scott (6th Dan) are exceptional at their craft and this has made all the more enjoyable learning experience.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"owl-nav position- mwt-testimonials-carousel-nav-6aeb1ee30718a\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-prev-6aeb1ee30718a\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"mwt-testimonials-carousel-next-6aeb1ee30718a\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Eagle Martial Arts EMA has specialised in martial arts since 2001 and has always had a strong focus on the development of its students and self defence.&nbsp; At Eagle Martial Arts (EMA) we believe that martial arts is more than just punching and kicking.&nbsp; Do students at EMA know how to defend themselves?
