Theory:
Tae
Soo Do®
was developed for the beginner martial artist, both children and
adults. It is our Undergraduate Program, and is the prerequisite
to the Graduate level of the Hwa Rang Do®
Program. Tae Soo Do®
focuses on the fundamentals, basic concepts, and mechanics underlying
the physical realm of training, while also developing a greater
understanding of the philosophies inherent in the practice of
a martial art.
While it is also considered the sport version of Hwa Rang Do®,
the Tae Soo Do®
program is a fantastic form of recreation for betterment of mind
and body.
