Soo Bahk Do

Soo Bahk Do is a Korean martial art known for its combination of both hard and soft styles, with emphasis on dynamic kicking techniques for hardness and hand techniques for its softness and self-defense applications. But it is not just about kicking and punching. Soo Bahk Do classes are designed to help each student realize his/her full potential and emphasize "Virtue in action." This action is demonstrated through courage, discipline, confidence, and humility in our sincere efforts in training and in our behavior towards others. This blending of challenging, physical techniques and a strong philosophy has created an art which demands mastery of the whole body, mind, and spirit.

​

We focus on developing physical fitness, self-defense, and safety skills. They can help you build confidence, focus, and respect for yourself and others. From the first day of class, values of respect, courtesy, control, and discipline are taught to every participant. Instructors provide training that is interesting and challenging while reinforcing these important values.
