1. What is Korean Karate?

Tang Soo Do is the name of the traditional style of Korean Karate we study, it is a martial art of empty hand and foot fighting. Members are trained to use their hands and feet in such a manner as to defend themselves in a combat situation with an armed or unarmed opponent. The purpose of training in this martial art is to develop coordination between mind and body. The methods of instruction are designed to help an individual build good character, integrity, self-respect and respect of others.

2. Who can learn?

Any man, woman or child can learn Korean Karate. Training begins with simple motions of attack and defense and progresses into action forms of continuous attack and defense. As coordination, strength and skill develop students are upgraded in rank and given advanced instructions on techniques.

3. What will it teach me?

The practice of Korean Karate will develop and enhance your personal confidence, physical fitness, balance, poise, focus, concentration,

unarmed self-defense skills and situational awareness.

4. When can I start?

We recommend interested visitors and prospective students watch a class first before taking part in class. You may then start training at the next available class.
