What is Soobahk-do®?
Benefits of Martial Arts Training
Self-Defense
“Begin by learning how to recognize and avoid potentially dangerous situations before they start.
Then, you’ll learn releases to escape common grabs and restraints.
As you advance, you will be able to take control of an attacker through compliance techniques.
Finally, we’ll apply techniques you’ve already learned in new ways to defend against weapon attacks.”
Fitness
“Exercise doesn’t have to be boring! Build and maintain a healthy lifestyle that focuses on flexibility, balance, and whole-body lean muscle development. You don’t need to be in great shape to start, but we will get you there! We also make modifications for those with restrictions.
Our creed is to cultivate a more powerful and fulfilled self. Our purpose for training is improving quality of life itself.”
Character Development
“Kids and teens learn our Eight Key Values which build courage, focus, and self-confidence. Our process hones leadership skills and always stresses respect for others.
All while learning cool moves!”
We strive to provide a friendly and supportive environment that challenges you to reach your goals.
Our martial arts gym is part of a worldwide martial arts association who train for health and harmony in a sometimes chaotic world.

“ Over the years, my passion for outdoor adventures became increasingly difficult. To continue to be active in my middle years, I needed a lifestyle change. Martial arts training provided the endurance, strength, and flexibility that I needed to turn back the biological clock. Now, I’m happy to bring this training to aspiring martial artists of any age.”
