Taekwondo | Korean Karate | Tang Soo Do
Whether you are looking for a traditional Karate or Taekwondo program, a place to practice modern combative technique, or an exercise routine that builds whole-body strength and flexibility, we can get you there. Our Taekwondo program is based on the traditional martial art of Tang Soo Do, also known as Korean Karate. We tailor our classes to the individual needs of our students, considering such factors as age and physical restrictions. Using traditional martial arts principles, we achieve modern practical benefits tailored to a student’s desired outcomes.
We’re in the Lakewood Link Emory Room every Tuesday and Thursday starting at 6:30pm. If you’re in the Lakewood area, come check out a class and meet our instructors!
