Mixed Martial Arts
Our martial arts program is based off of Tang Soo Do. Tang Soo Do is a traditional Korean martial art that combines striking techniques, self-defense, physical conditioning, discipline, and personal development. Students learn punches, kicks, blocks, forms, and practical self-defense while developing confidence, respect, focus, and perseverance.
A Blended Martial Arts Tradition
Tang Soo Do developed through the blending of Korean, Chinese, and Okinawan martial arts traditions. Its modern development is closely associated with Grandmaster Hwang Kee, who established the Moo Duk Kwan school in Korea in 1945. His training and study incorporated Korean martial traditions along with Chinese martial arts and Okinawan karate influences.
Today, Tang Soo Do is practiced as both a martial art and a method of personal growth, emphasizing discipline, respect, self-control, physical fitness, and a strong mind-body connection.
