Welcome to Ho Shin Academy of Martial Arts, a family-run training center in Denham Springs! Here, we follow the discipline of Han Mu Do—a mix of Taekwondo, Judo, and Hapkido. We teach students the styles of each in a fun, structured manner. Students learn self-defense while improving their mental health as well. Our kids martial arts students especially benefit with self-confidence, focus, listening, and anti-bullying skills.

Who We Are at
Ho Shin Academy of Martial Arts
Our School
The Wilson family has created a wonderful home for Han Mu Do in Denham Springs. They’ve created a friendly environment for kids that are treated as their own. We treat our students like our own children, becoming fully invested in their progress on and off the mat. We bring in a traditional teaching method that allows students to develop and still have a fun, enjoyable experience. Alongside our children’s martial arts classes, we also have several black belts training on our mats. Kids, parents, beginners, hobbyists, and high-end competitors all have a place to get to work in at Ho Shin Academy of Martial Arts. Come join us for the best Denham Springs martial arts experience!
History
The journey for the Wilson family all started with the tutelage of Han Mu Do founder He-Young Kimm. Previously, Harold Wilson trained under him in college but took a break. When he and Elizabeth Wilson’s daughter, Emily, was nine years old, Harold reconnected with Master Kimm and brought Elizabeth and Emily with him. And the rest is history.
All three became black belts and then brought Han Mu Do to Denham Springs in 2018. They have created a family atmosphere to support the community and help children. Their mission has been to help kids with confidence, self-defense, anti-bullying techniques, and many other paths to personal development. Harold, Elizabeth, and Emily will continue to grow themselves, continuously evolving with new teachings of Han Mu Do and the needs of their students.

Little Dragons (ages 4-7)
Our Little Dragons program is focused on teaching kids basic movements. Students learn balance as well as how to fall, block, stay still, and to raise their hand. These school-preparedness skills can be important for their personal development.
Juniors (ages 7-15)
We kick it up in our Juniors program. Students learn more serious techniques and have a different curriculum set up for their age group. They continue to build up their game while improving mentally and emotionally.
Adults (ages 16+)
We teach our main curriculum in our adult program. Our training focuses more on joint locks, striking, and other high-level skills to develop their skills.
