SOAR Tang Soo Do

Welcome to Soar Tang Soo Do! I am extremely excited that you have found our club online. As we continue training, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have. Our goal is to train you to become a black belt, but that means you must train hard. Remember, Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude – SOAR!

Purpose

The focus of our martial arts school is on physical fitness, character development and self-defense. Our overarching goal is in building our student’s character. When you become a martial arts student, you join a community that works together toward improved physical strength and stamina, better focus and concentration, greater self-discipline, competency in self-defense and most importantly, increased self-confidence.

For us at Soar Tang Soo Do, the practice of martial arts means respecting each other, encouraging and supporting each other and celebrating each other’s successes. Our goal is to deliver all of the benefits of martial arts, including improved muscle tone, increased cardiovascular fitness, lower stress levels, increased energy, and greater flexibility as your make your journey to black belt.

Self-defense is also emphasized, but it’s always tempered with the training on how to seek alternatives to conflict. Soar Tang Soo Do is committed to teaching the physical skills while applying attitude-shaping exercises aimed at bringing out the best character and physical potential in each student.
