Sabeomnim Alex holds a 4^th degree black belt (4 Dan) in Hapkido and a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). He started his martial arts journey when he was 5 years old and continued until this day.

Since achieving his black belt in the early 2000’s, Alex has continued his love of Hapkido but also expanded his martial arts skills and knowledge by taking on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). Alex enjoys both the self-defence and competition aspects of BJJ and the fact that Hapkido and BJJ compliment each other.

Alex was one of the original instructors at the Victorian Hapkido Academy (VHA) (founded by Sabeomnim Greg Walters and Sabeomnim Scott Walters in 2001) and trained/instructed with both Sabeomnim Greg and Sabeomnim Scott for several years before branching out to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ).

Alex holds a 4 Dan black belt with the Global Hapkido Association (GHA) but is also accredited with other Hapkido organisations, such as the International Hapkido Federation, Moo Moo Kwan Hapkido Federation and the Korea Hapkido Federation. He is also an accredited Floro Fighting System (FFS) Instructor under Guru Raymond Floro. FFS is a realistic and simplified method of dealing with both armed and unarmed confrontations. It specialises in awareness and defence of assaults involving edged-weapons.

Master Greg Walters holds a 8th degree black belt (8 Dan) in Hapkido and has been instructing for over 30 years. He started his martial arts journey in the ’70’s when he started Taekwondo. Years later, after discovering Hapkido, he decided to make the switch as he felt it was a fuller, more realistic syllabus.

Master Greg founded Eagle Martial Arts (known then as the Victorian Hapkido Academy) with his son, Master Scott Walters.

Since achieving his black belt in the early-’90’s, Master Walters has continued his love of Hapkido, especially enjoying the focus, camaraderie and personal growth it fosters.

Master Walters holds an 8 Dan black belt with the Global Hapkido Association (GHA) but is also accredited with other Hapkido organisations, such as the International Hapkido Federation, Moo Moo Kwan Hapkido Federation and the Korea Hapkido Federation.

Sabeomnim (Master) Scott holds a 6^th degree black belt (6 Dan) in Hapkido and has been instructing for over 20 years. He started his martial arts journey when he was seven years old training in Taekwondo. After receiving his 1 Dan black belt he made the switch to Hapkido at around eleven years old, following his father’s (HweJaNim Greg) footsteps. Scott felt that although Taekwondo was good, Hapkido was more practical as a self-defence tool and was more fun.

Sabeomnim Scott founded Eagle Martial Arts (known then as the Victorian Hapkido Academy) with his Father, Master Greg.

Since achieving his black belt in the mid-’90’s, Sabeomnim Scott has continued his love of Hapkido, especially enjoying its aspects of self defence, the personal growth it fosters as well as being part of the broader “Hapkido family”.

Sabeomnim Scott holds a 6 Dan black belt with the Global Hapkido Association (GHA) but is also accredited with other Hapkido organisations, such as the International Hapkido Federation, Moo Moo Kwan Hapkido Federation, the Korea Hapkido Federation. He also holds a 1 Dan with the World Taekwondo Federation.
