MACHO Martial Arts

At Macho, we focus on safety. We set industry standards. We pride ourselves on quality. From product development to the production line to customer service, we’ve standardized our processes to ensure quality at all levels of manufacturing. It’s the mission our founder Master Cho began in 1980 and it remains to be our mission today.

This quality mission means that we:

  • Produce the highest quality products based on extensive research and testing.

  • Design new products based on our own R &D feedback as well as from martial artists while ensuring that we exceed standards for protective safety.

  • Ensure customer satisfaction – from our products to the service and customer support they need.

Macho embraces the idea of change and evolution. Change gives us the ability to survive in an aggressive marketplace. Responding to customer challenges and feedback spurs us to continuously evolve. We are committed to our customers and supporting the community in which we do business.

Once you work with Macho and purchase our products, you’ll soon wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. You’ll realize why words like “patented,” “tested,” “safety conscious” and “innovative” define us. Each time one of our innovations shows up in the other guy’s product line, we just smile and say, “We wouldn’t have it any other way.” Our customers know they are getting products that set past, present, and future standards for industries that didn’t have standards before we came along.

That’s pretty cool.

International Hapkido Federation

The International Hapkido Federation uses the name Hapkido because our roots are from Choi, Yong-Sul through Ji Han-Jae and then Chang, Young-Shil. Ji Han-Jae (as history shows) was the person who coined the name Hapkido and many followed this name. Ji Han-Jae had changed the name to Hapkido because it became a way of life for him as well as many others, not just technique. Hapkido greats like Han Bong-Soo, Lim Hyun-Soo, Suh In-Seo, Suh In-Hyuk, Lee Joo-Bang and many others. The founder of our organization's instructor was Ji Han-Jae while it was still Hapkiyoosool under Choi, Yong-Sul's direction. We were also affiliated with Han, Bong-Soo and Myung, Jae-Nam during those times. We became the "International Hapkido Federation" after Chang, Young-Shil started teaching in 1960 and then opened his own school in 1968. The techniques are still refered to as Hapkiyoosool, the art is Hapkido.
