Master's Profile


	Tang Soo Do is an ancient martial art which originated 2,000 years ago in Korea. Superficially, Tang Soo Do is a method of empty-hand, and foot and weapon fighting, based on the scientific use of the body in self-defense. Technically, Tang Soo Do is based on the principles of yielding, circular motion, and penetration. Applications of the above-fashioned movements to a human's weakest points will have no equal in power or effectiveness. The reputation for superior kicking techniques and development of the legs is another proud asset of Tang Soo Do.

	Today, the techniques and philosophy are still taught as they were in ancient times, although the system has adjusted to the physical needs of modern lifestyles. Most of all, this mysterious art is designed to develop individual character, mental strength, integrity, and respect for others.
