Martial Arts is so much more than punching and kicking. Becoming a black belt takes commitment. To earn your black belt, you have to master the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of the art. What we learn in the dojang develops leaders, better neighbors, and great friends. Our black belts are held to high standards which inspires everyone training to learn more, practice, and keep growing and improving continually.

The very first evidence of this ancient form of Korean martial arts appeared during the Three Kingdom era (57 BC-935 AD) as Hwa Rang Do. Since then, 2,000 years have passed. The indigenous martial arts quietly developed through generations of the Korean people. During some eras it flourished and other times it diminished, according to the political, economic or cultural environment. The art was known by various names throughout the eras as Hwa Rang Do, Moo Sul, Kyuck Too Ki, Soo Bahk Ki, Soo Byuck Ki, Taek Kyun etc. respectively.
