Martial art training is a journey that will create many benefits for you. Self-Defense and being in a great physical shape are two obvious aspects, but as you progress you will find that the strength you gain from training positively affects the many other activities you are involved in outside the dojang (school). The characters of the martial arts of Hwa Rang Do and its undergraduate program Tae Soo Do are truly unique, and no matter your age or previous level of experience, as a student, some of the many benefits you will gain are:
Greater Focus | More Energy | Healthier Lifestyle
Self-Confidence | Self-Defense | Self-Determination
Strength | Flexibility | Endurance | Balance | Stamina
and of course. . . the Camaraderie of Friends!
