*Tang Soo Do is among the Finest Fighting Art Systems in the world, highly recognized for its Traditionalism of Discipline and the thoroughness of the Mind, Body and Spirit Concept. This ancient Korean fighting Art has a rich 2000-​year history. And what has preserved the precision of this Art is the discipline with which it has been studied, taught and handed down for generations.

*Yoga is an ancient Indian discipline designed to enable people to begin from their immediate, present state of consciousness and move forward, day by day, into a state of wholeness, well being, and enlightenment. Even the beginner student can shed much physical tension, mental and emotional turbulence, and prepare for a more balanced state of existence.

*Chi Kung is an ancient 3000-​year-​old Chinese healing discipline that trains the mind to direct the body’s life force, called «Chi», to prevent or cure disease and achieve mental and spiritual balance.

History

Established in 1991.

Teaching the last twenty-​two years in the community of Fremont, California has brought me many joys. I have had the pleasure and the privilege of teaching and learning from my students who have come from over 25 different cultures. We have had students motivated to come and train three times a week from San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Stanford and Berkley. We believe in promoting a sense of self and cultural pride. In not having diluted our arts (Tang Soo Do, Yoga and Chi Kung) that are over 2000 years old we have preserved an ancient art and we pass it on to the next generation. I have had the joy of instructing and creating world champions who shine at the larger arenas and have also been involved in the more personal and private stories of growth and success of changes in lifestyles and character. With strong Integrity, Perseverance, Respect, Humility and Indomitable Spirit, *We Boldly Embrace Our Community!*
