The completion & official presentation of Effective Hapkido was done in 2004, by Mr. Vassilios (or Vasileios) Topatsis.

This Hapkido style includes (training program):
 * Breathing techniques
 * Hand – Leg techniques
 * Hapkido basic techniques
 * Simple self-defense techniques
 * Advanced self-defense techniques
 * Self-defense techniques against weapons
 * Self-defense techniques against grappling
 * Wrestling/Grappling techniques
 * Safe way of falling down
 * Pressure points
 * Long staff, short stick, two short stick, sword & cane techniques

It is a “Soft” and “Hard” style.

Effective Hapkido gives attention to totally training and as a result students have the ability to face any dangerous situation (always in a frame that law says and determines).

Additionally, Effective Hapkido focus on grappling techniques.

The variety of the style gives the chance to students to choice any kind of self-defense or kinesiology that they want, depends on their age, gender etc.

Every level has basic techniques, which introduce students, step by step, to more complicated techniques and to necessary style of movements.

The true value and background of Effective Hapkido are destroyed when students adopt: Aggressiveness Superficiality Resentfulness Egoism

and served when dominated positive “energy” and altruism.
