Little Tigers Program
Our comprehensive course introduces the student to the mental and philosophical aspects of the Martial Arts of Hapkido
Coming January 2026
EWM Hapkido Academy in LaVista is excited to announce our New Pre-School Martial Arts programs for ages 3 to 4 & 5 to 6! At this age, kids are curious, energetic, and ready to learn. Starting Martial Arts early helps boost focus, coordination, and confidence that will benefit them for years to come. We make learning Martial Arts fun playful, and exciting, while also teaching life skills.
This program is designed and led by Nicole Bilgere, 5th Degree Black Belt with over 25 years of experience creating confidence-building programs & curriculum for students throughout Sarpy County. Her expertise reassures parents that their children are in capable hands and will benefit from quality instruction.
Keep an eye out for our Grand Opening Special! For more information, please call Nicole at 402-515-2272. We look forward to welcoming your child to this exciting new program and making them feel special from the start.
Children’s Program
At our school, everything we teach is reality based. We work very hard to ensure that most any situation you might encounter is covered in the classroom under very safe learning conditions, so you will be prepared.
The reason our program is so successful is because we make the classes fun and exciting. We learned a long time ago that if people are having fun, they learn much faster.
Adult/Teen Program
Our Adult and Teen students really appreciate the difference between training at our school and standard exercise programs. Not only will we get you in great shape and teach you practical self-defense, but through this ancient philosophy, you will reduce your stress, strengthen your mind and develop your spirit.
Women’s Self Defense
Women find our program an excellent art for self-defense. Hapkido relies on knowledge and movement, rather than strength to complete techniques. The size of the person is irrelevant. Consequently, a 220 lb. attacker is at the mercy of a 110 lb. trained practitioner.
