needs of our students. Whether you need a class for your child to take
in the afternoons, take a class after work or take a class while your
children are at school, we have a class to work around your busy schedule.

Children’s
Classes
We
believe that the future lies in the hands of our children. In keeping
with that belief, we strive to provide the best training for your children
that will not only help them with martial arts but with life. As with
all of our training, it is centered on improving the body and mind at
the same time. Within our training program, children will learn respect,
discipline and honor along with the physical aspects of martial arts.
All training that is done at US-K Martial Arts is done in the open
and we encourage parents to stay and watch their children as they progress
through their classes.
Adult
Classes
We
understand how hectic today’s schedules can be. In keeping with
that we provide two types of adult classes:
Family
Class
This
class is designed for both adults and adults with children who are
also taking classes. This gives you the chance to take class with
your children and free up a little more of your schedule.
Adults
Only Class
This
class is designed for adults. The pace is a little more intense.
Self-Defense Training
We
provide mini-classes that teach basic self-defense techniques. The self-defense
classes teach ways to disable and get away from an attacker. These classes
run at various schedules and we are happy to set up classes for groups
either at our locations, or in some cases, in other more convenient
locations.
Weapons
Training
US-K Martial Arts provides training in weapons as you progress through
the Tang Soo Do ranks. The main weapons that are taught are the Bo and
the Sword. The training for the Bo begins at the Green Belt level and
progresses through the rest of your training. Sword training (Haedong
Kumdo) begins at a white belt level and progresses separately from Tang
Soo Do. This technique of Sword is one of the oldest in the world and
is very difficult and intense training.
Tournament
Training
At
US-K Martial Arts we encourage our students to participate in tournaments.
Tournaments provide a practical and fun way to test the skills that you
have learned as you compete against, not only your fellow students, but
also students from other schools. Our tournament training is designed
to assist students in preparing for the three major tournament events.
These events include:
Forms
These
are the forms that are taught in class and may also include weapons
forms at some tournaments.
Board
Breaking
Normally,
this is a 3 station break. Which means that there are three different
boards (or groups of boards), that the competitor will break. Each
person is responsible for designing his or her own break.
Sparring
The
rules for sparring change from one tournament to the next. We provide
training for the event as a whole.
