Treasure Coast Tang Soo Do at Christi's Family Fitness
About Tang Soo Do
Tang Soo Do is a traditional Korean martial art. If the Chinese ideograms which are pronounced Tang Soo Do by a native of Korea were shown to a person who speaks Japanese, he or she might say “Oh. Karate-do!” for Tang Soo Do is the Korean way of saying Karate-do. Tang Soo Do students learn the blocks, kicks and punches typical of karate. We also learn techniques with several weapons, and different methods of self-defense. We practice discipline and etiquette in class, and we wear traditional Korean martial arts uniforms.
Treasure Coast Tang Soo Do is a family oriented Korean karate club. Our membership and our philosophy is a good mix with the nature of Christi’s Family Fitness. Many of the club members are also members of Christi’s, and vice versa. However, you do not need to join Christi’s in order to practice Tang Soo Do. We have been in continuous operation for twenty years in Vero Beach. We try to keep our fees affordable in this time of shrinking family budgets. We are proud members of the World Tang Soo Do Association, a martial arts group with hundreds of studios world-wide, and thousands of karate enthusiasts. Because we are a member of a large and reputable martial arts organization, our standards and rankings remain stable and unchanged. Belt rankings from Treasure Coast Tang Soo Do are accepted in over 500 studios, located in 36 different countries. The instructors of Treasure Coast Tang Soo do have more than 100 years of combined martial arts experience, and several hold ranks on other styles of martial arts.
One might study karate to learn self-defense. Certainly, in today’s world, that would be a reasonable thing. However, people might also study karate to learn stress relief, or to improve cardio-vascular health, and general fitness and flexibility. Others might enjoy the competition of karate contests, or participate because karate is one of the few sports that an entire family can enjoy together. Whatever your motivation for seeking a karate school, come by Christi’s and watch a class, or even participate. If we’re not what you’re looking for, we may be able to recommend another school in town.
