What we teach

A striking art that specializes in kicking, and stresses the development of power through technique rather than muscular strength. Tang Soo Do incorporates defensive techniques and strategies with joint locks, weight distribution and balance, using both hard and soft theories in our fighting style.

Qi Gong or Ki Gong, is a ancient Chinese system to develop the mind, body and spirit. Sometimes called "moving meditation", Qi Gong is physical movements that focus on bodily health by working circulatory, respiratory and meridian theory;  meditation and mindfulness for a healthy mind. 

Hapkido is the art of using your enemies power against then. Focusing on joint locks, throws and utilizing circular motion to multiply power. Literally meaning “The way of harmonizing energy”, Hapkido does not fight force with force, but instead redirects it.
