Our Program Will Help Your Child
Do Better At School And In Life!

Wouldn’t your child learn more at school and get higher grades if they had better focus and concentration, more self-confidence and higher self-esteem, improved discipline and deeper respect, and were able to set and achieve goals?

These are some of the ‘Life Skills’ your child will develop in our unique program. Tang Soo Do is a Traditional Korean Martial Art whose roots date back over 2,000 years. For centuries, Tang Soo Do has been arming people with the skills they need to live happy, successful, and peaceful lives.

So, how does learning to ‘kick and punch’ produce
so many benefits and develop these skills?

The cornerstone of this ‘Traditional Martial Art’ of Tang Soo Do is respect. With their first step onto the dojang (training studio) floor, our students salute the flags and bow to their instructors and fellow students. Our students address their instructors as “Sir” or Ma’am” and treat each other with traditional Korean courtesy. The behaviors learned in the dojang carry over into a more courteous, respectful attitude toward teachers, parents, acquaintances, and the world at large.

Tang Soo Do training teaches progressive skills. The student learns physical skills in increments and is rewarded incrementally. As the students move from a white belt to a black belt, they are able to measure their progress through the colored belts they have earned. Each colored belt represents a stage of achievement on the path to black belt. Of course the main goal for new martial arts students is becoming a black belt, and through our program they learn to break the goal of becoming a black belt into a series of smaller, more ‘do-able’ goals. With each stage of accomplishment you see the students confidence and self esteem grow, and they develop a “YES, I CAN” attitude, which carries over into every area of their lives.

As mentioned above, Tang Soo Do teaches ‘progressive skills’, with more advanced skills building on those previously learned and practiced. Besides the physical benefits of continuous practice and building of these skills, there are many mental benefits through one’s training in Tang Soo Do. When a student trains, their brain is getting as rigorous a workout as their body. First they must learn the skill. Then they have to make their body perform the skill. After this they refine the skill – this takes lots of practice. Finally, they should know the skill so well they can perform it without actively thinking about the skill. But this is not the end, now they can focus on the proper application of the skill, etc., etc.

All of this ‘learning’ requires higher and higher degrees of focus and concentration. While these abilities are developed in the dojang, once acquired, the student carries and uses them in all areas of their lives.

Unlike most activities your child will participate in, Tang Soo Do will develop their whole being – Body, Mind, & Spirit!
