  • Introductory Class This class is designed to introduce new students to the basic kicks, strikes, and blocks of Tang Soo Do. It is half the length of the regular classes, and allows students to work through the basic techniques and learn the etiquette before moving into regular classes. Generally, the period of attending intro classes lasts around 3 weeks, but varies based on the individual student, how quickly they learn, and how often they can attend.
  • Tang Soo Do Karate A traditional Korean martial art, Tang Soo Do combines kicks, strikes, blocks, and is a powerful tool for self-defense as well as artistic expression through combative movement. Training also results in the development of individual character, discipline, respect, and physical fitness.
  • MMA Fundamentals If you want to develop a deeper understanding of the application of your techniques and take your fighting skills to the next level, check out our MMA Fundamentals class. Combining striking, kicking, grappling, and offensive and defensive movements, fight theory and strategy, students can put their skills to use in a practical context. Open to all karate students, ages 13 and up.
  • Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu BJJ emphasizes grappling, ground fighting, take downs, and submission holds and is a crucial component of a well-rounded set of self-defense skills. Students can enroll in just the BJJ program, or combine it with karate and eskrima classes. Tue/Wed 7:30 pm & Sat 8:30 am BJJ classes with Coach Justin Metcalfe are an additional cost.
  • Kampilan Eskrima Eskrima is a traditional Filipino martial art, which focuses on weapons-based fighting including sticks, blades, and “improvised” weapons, as well as empty hand techniques. It complements and enhances both our striking and grappling martial arts. The Kampilan style was developed by Guro Edie Mesina over decades of training and practical application.
