When Lok’s Hapkido School was established in 1996, it was a time of immigration and expansion for many Asian around the world. As we know, it was an early stage of information and broadband connectivity. At that time, Hapkido standards, certification and Hapkido recognition were to be elevated worldwide. To carry forth the significance, the logo represents energy so bright it casts an intense golden reflection onto the eagle.
