We train our students to the best of their ability. Some students come to us in shape, while other have come to us 100 pounds overweight. Most come to us with limited flexibility. Adults start at any age, as we have had some adults who started as late as age 50, and have still earned their black belts. As a student, you are looked upon as an individual, never compared to anyone else. Our instructors will be there every step of the way. All that is expected of you is a willingness to try. Here are some benefits you can expect from training in Tang Soo Do:

Fitness - The principals of Tang Soo Do techniques are based on the design of your body. For power you develop the larger, powerful muscles of the torso. The speed of the techniques comes from the fast, agile muscles of the arms and legs. As you progress in Tang Soo Do you will learn to coordinate this speed and power, and develop a concentration to focus all of your body's strength into a small, hard striking surface like the edge of the hand or the heel of the foot.

Self-defense - When the speed and power developed through Tang Soo Do is used in a self-defense situation against the soft vulnerable parts of an attacker's body, the result can be incredible. Tang Soo Do allows a woman to emphasize many of her natural physicals strengths, such as power in the legs while learning a method of self-defense efficient against a much larger opponent. Knowing you can defend yourself, your confidence will grow. And confidence alone is usually enough to deter potential attackers.

Confidence - This does not come naturally for many people, but self-confidence can be developed over a period of time. Through Tang Soo Do, as you accomplish new goals, your confidence level increases. Tang Soo Do instills a sense of discipline and self-confidence that can carry over to all aspects of your life.

Fun - Most students tell us that they always wanted to try Martial Arts training. For many of them it becomes one of the joys of their life. Very few activities develop the Body, Mind, and the Spirit let alone in a way that is so much fun.
