We are a group of individuals with a common bond; that is a love of the martial arts.  Though we come from different walks of life, over the years we have, trained together, sweat together, tested our abilities together and become friends, a brotherhood/sisterhood in the arts.  We teach because of the shear joy of giving others the knowledge we have acquired over the years.  None of us became instructors because we had to but rather we wanted to.  This is what makes us different.  On the training floor our black belt is worn around our waist but as another colleague of ours always says, and we agree, “true martial artists wear their black belt around their heart”.                           

Our teaching methods have been proven to work.  Whether the person is young or old, male or female, weak or strong, the learning experience will be rewarding.  From basics to advanced the techniques are presented, so eventually your muscle memory will re-act for you, action without thought (Moo Shim).  Along with the physical, your mental abilities will team up so you will experience the concept of the mind and body as one.

 This program is designed to bring out your very best.  The classes are challenging but are geared for the individual.  Whether you  need to subdue an unruly drunk, are attacked on the street by one or more attackers, or just want a great workout, we have what you need. Through the learning process you will find your strength, coordination, flexibility and confidence all increasing along with your cardiovascular ability. Never experience a boring workout while you are training your mind and body at the same time.

Our youth and Little Dragons curriculum are specifically designed to help develop a pro-active child.  The children will be taught the techniques that work for them, at their level.  The learning process though structured, will also be FUN and rewarding.

All our instructors are certified by the World Tang Soo Do Association.
