Frequently Asked Questions
What is Tang Soo Do?
Tang Soo Do is an ancient martial art, which originated 2000 years ago in
Korea. Tang Soo Do is a method of empty hand, foot, and weapon fighting
based on scientific use of the body in self-defense. Tang Soo Do is based on
the principles of yielding, circular motion and penetration. As a student
you will learn to use your hands and feet in such a manner as to simulate
actual combat with an armed or unarmed opponent. The techniques and
philosophy are taught as they were in ancient times, although the system has
adjusted to the modern lifestyle. Most of all, Tang Soo Do is designed to
develop individual character, mental strength, integrity, and respect for
other.
