WHAT IS TANG SOO DO?
Tang Soo Do is a South Korean style of Martial Arts. It is an art based on classical form rather than on competition or sports. The purpose of Tang Soo Do is not for fighting but to perfect techniques which will enhance your total self. If the occasion arises, you will be able to use your Tang Soo Do skills defend yourself or family members.
This style combines both kicking and hand techniques. Higher ranked students will train with weapons, such as; Nunchaku, Staff, Knife and Sword. In addition to this, striking, grappling and throwing techniques are also taught. The Tang Soo Do syllabus begins at white belt and moves up through 7 coloured belts to black belt.
Our passionate and skilled team are here to help students achieve their goals. Are you ready to reach your potential? Join us today!
