Styles of Study

As our student, you will be instructed in the Korean karate system. The blend of the fighting arts taught by Master Samane's Karate Institute is practical and devastatingly effective.

You will be instructed in the art of Tang Soo Do, the art made famous by TV and motion picture star Chuck Norris. Tang Soo Do is a Korean martial art whose roots can be traced back 2000 years. The art is made up of 70% kicking and 30% hand techniques. Tang Soo Do literally means “the way of the worthy hand”.

In addition you will be instructed in the art of Sin Moo Hapkido, which is one of the martial arts styles favored by the military and personal bodyguards. Hapkido literally means “the way of coordinated power”. Sinmoo literally means “higher thinking of the gods”. Sinmoo hapkido is considered “the fighting art of the gods”.
