Tang Soo Do is an ancient martial art which originated 2,000 years ago in Korea. Superficially, Tang Soo Do is a method of empty-hand, and foot and weapon fighting, based on the scientific use of the body in self-defense. Technically, Tang Soo Do is based on the principles of yielding, circular motion, and penetration. Applications of the above-fashioned movements to a human’s weakest points will have no equal in power or effectiveness. The reputation for superior kicking techniques and development of the legs is another proud asset of Tang Soo Do.
