Private lessons are by appointment only, and are subject to schedule availability. If interested, contact us for further details regarding cost per session and schedule availability.
Belt Ranking System
In order to be promoted in rank, students must not only display understanding of proper Tang Soo Do techniques, but must also display understanding and practice of proper Tang Soo Do spirit, attitude, respect, discipline, and dedication, as well as meeting the approval and recommendation of the instructor. Our belt ranking system teaches commitment, patience, and dedication. For example, it takes approximately four years to achieve the rank of first-degree black belt. Students are encouraged to put forth their best effort and to always strive toward achieving their goals!
