Marshall County now has a Hapkido Academy located in Benton as of June 8th! This is a Korean Self-Defense Art, which you still earn belts like other martial arts. Marshall County Hapkido Academy is Owned and Operated by Wes Sutton, who is a Veteran, as well as a 4th Degree Black Belt. Master Sutton is accepting new students daily and his classes are for ages 4 up to 100! He can work with anyone to help you learn self-defense, no matter your age or limitations!
Right now, they are training 4 days a week, Monday – Thursday, and have morning and evening classes. Once school starts back, they will be offering an after school program where the students can be dropped off immediately after school for training and predator awareness.
They have a Lil’ Dragons Class for ages 4-6 (Tues & Thurs 5p-5:30p), Kids Hapkido Class for ages 7-13 (Mon, Tues, & Thurs 6p-7p), Adult Hapkido for ages 14-100 (Mon-Thurs 7:15p-8:30p), and Morning Hapkido Class for All Ages (Mon & Thurs 11a-Noon).
They are located at 222 Elm Street in Benton, which is right around the corner from the Co-op (contrary to what your GPS might tell you), and their phone number is 270-906-5522.
