What Is The Aim of Tang Soo Do?

Master Michael D'Ambrosio Jump SidekickThe aim of Tang Soo Do is to build confidence and develop a positive attitude.

The purpose of our training is to perfect techniques, which will enhance the total self.

Tang Soo Do refers to that body of knowledge, which enables us to apply physical techniques together with mental and spiritual power, which in turn creates more powerful physical skills.

To become a black belt does not only mean skill or effective power, it means the whole process of continuous spiritual, mental and physical development for fulfilling virtues of value, wisdom and kindness.
