Hopaesool (호패술 號牌術) is a Korean martial art and competition sport using a Hopae, the name plates worn as identification tags by Koreans during the Joseon period.
Hopaesool is reminiscent of nunchaku, stick fighting and fencing. The sport side of it is practiced with a helmet and a foam Hopae (instead of wood) which makes it safer and more fun.
>>> Initiations outside of the regular classes — albeit without students — are also possible according to the Grand Master availability. Contact us for more info.

Spent most of the day with Seba going to different experiences and he is very accomplished in knowledge and skills. Great!
I contacted Seba after searching—without success—for specific martial arts gear; he promptly and kindly solved the problem by bringing the equipment I was looking for directly to my hotel. Thanks again, Seba.
Un immense merci à Jean-Sébastien pour cette prestation vraiment super ! Grâce à lui, nous avons découvert des endroits magnifiques, totalement atypiques et préservés du tourisme de masse. Le contact est super bien passé dès les premières minutes, il est d'un professionnalisme et d'une gentillesse incroyables. Je recommande à 100 % ! 🚀✨
J'ai visité en compagnie de Sébastien le Daejanggeum Park, site de tournage des dramas historiques coréens. Ce fut une expérience absolument magique avec le guide parfait pour cette visite. Si vous êtes des dramas addict comme moi, je vous recommande d'y aller et vous rencontrerez les effigies de vos acteurs préférés! Un régal pour les yeux! Merci beaucoup Sébastien pour avoir fait de mon rêve une réalité !
Had the most amaaaazing experience, Seba went above and beyond for me and really made the experience so wonderful and inspiring. Learning the sword dance was absolutely incredible, working with a master, and the archery too was insane!!! I am so happy it was absolutely incredible. Thankyou so much. I can not reccomend it enough!!!
Seba knows how to choose the best instructors that will share with you their knowledge but moreover make you feel you are part of the Korean family: Experience Korea not as tourist but as if you were visiting friends is priceless. 🌸❤️ moreover Seba truly réalises your dreams by taking into account each little wish you could have hidden in you heart 💜😉
