Omaha Blue Waves Martial Arts

Apr 2024

Absolutely love it here. You have to earn your way to each belt. It's not just handed to you. It's also wonderful how they discipline and redirect students. My children are probably the youngest here and it's been a wonderful and welcomed addition to our parenting and our children's behavior.

OBW is a dojang where everyone is welcomed and embraced for what makes them unique and what makes them strong. I trained here during the brief time I spent living in Omaha and never felt more at home in a city so different from where I’m from. GM Helaney and all the teaching staff are great at creating a learning environment that is both productive and fun. I enjoyed how concept-focused their teaching style is; it helped me learn faster and truly understand effective self defense strategies. They also have great respect for the Korean culture behind the art form.

I’m a former TKD practitioner now in my late 40s who was looking for a different type of martial art to try. I decided to try Hapkido at Omaha Blue Waves and I am more than happy with my decision. Grandmaster Helaney and his family are extremely knowledgeable and have a wealth of experience and Mr. Humphrey is an excellent instructor. The Hapkido group is very welcoming and always happy to help practice a technique or concept. I have arthritic knees and that has not been a hindrance to this point as I look forward to continuing in hopes of achieving a black belt one day. I encourage anyone to come in and see what Blue Waves has to offer.
