Tang Soo Do University

TSDU is more than a martial arts school. To go in to a business that requires keeping a long term relationship with an individual can’t be an easy thing to do, especially with my son. My son is an introvert, which is fine with me, but because of that he can become unmotivated in general. A couple of times I have had to tell Master Flame that he’s just not «feeling it» anymore and I tell you the entire staff steps up to offer him a little extra support. It’s so heart warming to see my son light up again, not just about TSDU, but he just lights up in general and you can see a found-​again confidence. The best part is that with all the positive interest the school has in my son, along with the extra support from time to time, I’m certain he will gain the tools he needs to pass it along to other kids and simply make a positive difference in their lives. As for the martial arts itself, I love that TSDU takes what they do seriously, they aren’t playing, they aren’t being silly, they aren’t just pleasing children to collect a tuition, they have a standard and expectations and requirements. The children are growing up to learn how to defend themselves and when to defend themselves. Sometimes they get hurt as they would in any sport, it’s good to watch from the chairs, not get involved, and let them handle themselves without mommy and daddy.

My family has been training at the Tang Soo Do University for over 6 years. All 4 of my kids currently train there (We have a second degree black belt, a black belt, a black belt candidate, and an advanced student). Master Flame and all of the instructors have been amazing with my kids. The kids have learned important martial arts and self defense skills, confidence, respect, and much more. I even took classes there as well. The instructors and students of the school really feel like a second family to us. I highly recommend this studio for kids and adults!

Had our daughters 9^th birthday party here. Everyone had a great time. Jason and the instructors were great.

I have known Master Flame for probably close to ten years now and if you reading this I want you to know he is the real deal. Yes, he’s a superb martial artist and yes, he runs a first class school but more that that, he teaches other martial arts schools how to run first class schools. Don’t miss the opportunity that you and your family have to train with him.

I have not personally taken classes at TSDU (with the exception of one here or there), but my sister has been going since she was young. I do feel like there is a family atmosphere (I might bring the bickering), and it seems like Master Flame and crew are constantly trying to improve the flow and layout of the studio to make it more conducive to the growth they are experiencing. My sister would come home from college and teach or attend at the studio, which I think is an endorsement of how she feels about it after years and years, and that’s good enough for me. She recently received her Masters, and it was an incredibly proud moment for all of us.

My son has been a student at Tang Soo Do University for almost 5 years & just received his 1^st Degree Black Belt. This studio & Master Flame have given my son much more than a Black Belt. He has confidence, respect, honor, loyalty, commitment & a second family. This studio isn’t just about karate, they care about the kids that attend & teach leadership skills, life lessons, stranger danger & also teach about giving back through community service. We recommend this studio to everyone. Your child will truly succeed in life with the opportunities that Karate can bring to them.

It was hard to find a «sport» or some form of exercise for my youngest daughter (10yo). She was never team competitive, but not shy. We tried TSDU on the advice of some friends of the family, and it was the best decision we could have made. She is now nearly and blackbelt and has grown tremendously because of the confidence and fitness that she acquired from karate.
Great staff, and facilities. Master Flame is always improving something about the school, and the other students are friendly and inclusive of others.
