Superior Tangsoodo Forum Description

[Makalakumu]

This is a forum dedicated to the material taught at Superior Tangsoodo. We are located in the Twin Ports and we practice the Korean martial art of Tangsoodo.

Tangsoodo is a Korean martial art that incorporates techniques from China, Japan, and Okinawa. Directly translated, Tangsoodo means “Way of the China Hand.” We train to improve our character, express ourselves creatively, and to defend ourselves should combat arise. Our training consists of the following types of techniques - 50% striking, 20% grappling/throwing, 20% weapons defense, and 10% breathing/relaxation/energy work.

I would like to invite my students and everyone else at MT to contribute to discussion. The ultimate is to connect my students with a wide variety of martial arts perspectives so that they can better understand the material that is taught at Superior Tangsoodo.

So, please, look at our stuff and comment...

Tang Soo!!!

Superior Tangsoodo Paper Posting Policy

I would like all papers written for rank tests to be posted in this forum, for discussion and reading, before the test.

In this way, we can all learn from each others points of view. I like to think of this as a very mild form of peer review...
