Tang Soo Do is a Korean Martial Art tracing its lineage back over 2000 years, focusing mainly on unarmed techniques and self-defense. Literally translated, the word “Tang” means the T’ ang dynasty of China, but reflects the shared cultural background between China and Korea. “Soo” means hand but implies fist, punch, strike, etc, and “Do” means way of life. Warrior aristocrats known as the Hwa Rang Dan lived by 5 codes given to them by a monk named Won Kwang. The 5 codes have been passed down as a way of life from generation to generation for centuries, and Tang Soo Do practicioners still follow these codes today.Over many centuries, the Korean ....

HOW DO I KEEP MY CHILD MOTIVATED Sometimes parents, especially parents of very young children, mention to us that the kids complain about coming to class. The parents acknowledge that the kids like class once they are here; yet the parents worry that maybe the child is losing interest. In many cases, the child is not telling you he doesn’t like his classes. Often, he is demonstrating that he is “present focused.”
At early stages of development, kids are not always able to project their thinking into the future, and weigh the potential for future enjoyment. For example, if you offered a young child a dollar now, or ten dollars in a month, they ....
Many young Americans grow up with martial arts as one of their first competitive sports/activities. Not only is it a great activity that keeps participants physically active, but it instills a sense of achievement and ethics, as you work your way up to earning a black belt. But even if you have no previous experience in martial arts, it is still a great activity to pick up even as an adult. Here are the Top 10 from Health Fitness Revolution and author of the book ReSYNC Your Life Samir Becic :
Total body workout:
Martial arts are a high-aerobic workout that uses every muscle group in the body. Your stamina, muscle tone, flexibility, balanceand strength will all improve through martial ....
During the school season teachers, assistants, and counselors are focused on helping your children learn and grow. But what happens during the summer season when these people are not around? It makes sense that as a parent you would want your child to maintain some level of growth and development over the summer in order to limit or prevent your child from losing a lot of the skills gained over the last school season. This includes growth and development in the following areas: physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially. With that said, one of the very best options is to keep your child active through a solid martial arts program. Whether your child is currently ....

There are lots of reasons martial arts can be a good match for kids with learning and attention issues. Here are some potential benefits:
They focus on individual growth, not on team competition.
Many kids with learning and attention issues struggle with the pressure of having to compete with other kids. So traditional sports may not appeal to them. But in martial arts, the focus is on self-improvement. There’s no “letting down the team.”
They offer concrete, attainable goals.
Some kids with learning and attention issues may feel like they never “win” at anything. In martial arts, kids work at their own pace. They’re awarded a different colored ....
Grandmaster Norris began his martial arts study in Judo while serving as an MP at the Osan Air Base in Korea. After only two weeks of training he broke his shoulder in a fall on the mat. While walking through a local town a few nights later, he came upon a group of martial artists practicing outdoors and was amazed by their acrobatic skills. He asked his Judo instructor Mr. Ahn about it and was told it was an art called Tang Soo Do. Master Norris asked his instructor what he thought about his training in karate until his shoulder healed. Thinking it a good idea, Mr. Ahn introduced him to Master Jae Chul Shin
(# 698). While he did continue to study Judo one day a week, it was Tang Soo Do ....

Equally important are physical fitness and methods for the release of daily stress---No matter whether you are seeking self-defense, better health, physical fitness or discipline, our Tang Soo Do can meet your needs. However, Tang Soo Do has its own unique character which differentiates it from any other form of martial arts or martial sports.

I think Evolution Karate is an awesome place to have your child learn Karate! I have strongly recommended it to several friends and they all have agreed with me. Their kids are loving it as well. The instructors are patient and caring! They are very encouraging! It is a place my daughter wants to be everyday! Evolution Karate has welcomed us into their Martial Arts Family and we are loving it!
Evolution is a one stop training center. I went for a trial period and I was hooked. In this year I have gotten to know the instructors. ALL are very good at what they to. Starting from Miss Alex and Mr. Adam are great with the kids. They show patience and kindness. Mr. Mac is a hard worker and he works you hard. Master Watson is an awesome teacher!! He makes it easy and hard at the same time. He does not allow you to rest on what you already know. Then comes Master K. he has a smile for everyone, but don’t let the smile fool you. The knowledge that he has is amazing!! This is truly a family!!I couldn’t see me anyplace else. Come see for yourself, and you will get hooked!!
Matthew has been a member since the week he turned five, and I am absolutely sure that he would not be a strong, polite, and motivated 14-year-old today without Master K and Miss (now Master) Myers. Words can't even express how much this school has given us.
