Is  training hard, yes, NOTHING GOOD COMES EASY, so if you are not prepared to put 100% into your training then it is not going to work, I expect students to train hard, train regular, but the benefits are many, you get fit, become more supple, become stronger, and you put into practice what you learn so you gain more self-confidence which in turn improves your self-esteem.  Learn to use the Tang Soo Do techniques effectively.

I do not GIVE students a Tang Soo Do black belt, they EARN IT. 

• If you fail and leave us then you have proven me right, 
• If you fail and come back to try again, then you have proven something important to yourself and you will succeed.
