Tang Soo Do is a traditional Korean Martial Art, whose origins can be tracked back around 2000 years. During this time, the art has evolved into a highly effective self defence and training system. Elements of the training include self defence techniques, forms, semi-contact free sparing, breaking and weapons use.

Literally translated, the word

 "Tang"  means T'ang Dynasty of China, which reflects the shared cultural background between China and Korea ( 617-907 AD ).
