Traditional Tang Soo Do
Korean Martial Arts for Self-Defense
and Competitions
Welcome to the official Blue Guardian Martial Arts Academy (BGMAA) webpage :-)
​
At BGMAA we offer training in Traditional Tang Soo Do, a fighting style which originated and was used in the Korean Military. Powerful kicks and self-defense are the corner stones of this style. We also practice traditional forms, flying kicks, hand attacks, defense, throws, weapon training and board breaking.
​
Tang Soo Do combines the techniques of Shotokan karate, taekkyon, and kung fu to create a strong and effective martial arts fighting style, which is practiced by many including the famous actor Chuck Norris.
​
​A regular question asked is "What are the benefits of practicing Tang Soo Do and why should I enroll myself or my child?"
​
So here are a few reasons…
increased overall fitness and health, increased flexibility, strengthening of the mind and body, developing endurance, learning how to protect yourself, increasing your power and speed, balance and co-ordination, improving your focus and concentration, improving self-confidence, learning discipline, respect and self-control, developing a positive mental attitude.
​
And lastly it is allot of fun!!!
