Our story begins in the small, but action-packed state of Maryland, a place where crabs are as famous as the Baltimore Ravens, and where the Chesapeake Bay kisses the land with its beautiful waters. It's a place where every kid is a secret agent of fun, and where a group of special children embrace the ancient Korean martial art of Hapkido. These Hapkido kids aren't your average, ho-hum, run-of-the-mill kind of kids. No, these kids are more like superheroes, each with their own special powers. They can flip, spin, twist, and turn like nobody's business, all while keeping a firm grip on their chocolate chip cookies. You see, in Maryland, every Hapkido kid is born with an innate ability to do two things remarkably well - martial arts and dessert management. Meet Captain Crab Cake, the leader of the gang. He's a cool, claw-sporting character who can pinch bullies into obedience, all while reciting the Maryland state anthem in a booming voice. He's trained in Hapkido, which means he can sweep you off your feet, and not just because of his sparkling crustacean charm. Then there's his sidekick, Merry Muffin. She's as sweet as the sugary treats she's named after, but don't let that fool you. She's a whizz at Hapkido, and can knock you off balance faster than you can say, "Want a muffin?" These kids, with their hilarious hijinks and Hapkido heroics, prove that the state of Maryland is more than just blue crabs and baseball. It's a place where fun, adventure, and martial arts blend brilliantly, leaving a trail of laughter and lessons in their wake. So, buckle up kids, because the Hapkido Happenings in Maryland are just about to begin!
