and the community at-large.

To improve society by offering martial arts goods and services to satisfy consumer needs, thus building upon non-violent resolution of threats and disputes. We exist to train and extend the philosophies and principals of Korean Tang Soo Do martial arts “as a way of life”- a means of finding balance in one’s life addressing the wellness state of the physical, mental , spiritual and moral existence of the instructor, the student, the home and the community at-large.

Our goal is to establish collaboration with the home, school, the workplace and the community and provide training and exposures to, but not limited to the following areas:

Recreational activities, such as camping, swimming, hiking, field trips, sporting activities, picnics, etc.
Health/Wellness & mental awareness programs, such as certified first aid/CPR/AED training, nutrition seminars, guest speakers, tours to related institutionssuch as university/college tours, participation in activities associated with hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, mental health institutions, senior citizen environments, etc.
