Realistic Self Defense Training From Traditional Karate!

Traditional karate or Tang Soo Do when taught properly contains a complete system of civilian self-defense. Traditional karate contains all of the techniques needed to defend yourself in any situation. At South Hills Karate you will learn how to strike with the hands and feet, effective take downs and joint locks and grappling techniques.
Everything is learned in a safe and controlled class environment that is exciting, invigorating and refreshing to help you be safe and get into great shape!

I also believe that there is an interest in a deeper understanding of martial art technique, including advanced sparring techniques, breath control, differentiating styles and how those all relate to moo do principles.
I am personally offering the opportunity to practice in a club environment that focuses on those deeper aspects of martial arts training. However, this isn't for everyone and you must be accepted into the Independent Tang Soo Do Association. If you are interested in this higher level of martial arts training, please call me directly at the number listed below!
