Boxing , kickboxing, MuayThai , karate , bare knuckle karate , ninjutsu , JiuJitsu .

We are not a commercial school on the side of Main Street . Where you learn a side kick to a flying side kick focus for a month and a flashy Kata.While you strike blocking pads with fancy blocking drills.

We are very much neutralizing the treat take it to the ground and finish it . 


 Korean Moo Sul Kwan is both a hard and soft style .It is 100 % Hapkido blended with Tang Soo Do . Some consider Tang Soo Do a Korean Karate while others call it Taekwondo. It is one of the oldest kwans of Taekwondo also known has Moo Duk Kwan Taekwondo.

Hapkido has three  principles in which are known has:

3 Universal Theories of Hapkido 

Water - flowing in ,out,under,around,and over or through.

Circular - Gain momentum by flowing in a circle to off balance an attacker by redirection and  direction to mirrow or use leverage against an attacker .

Harmony or non resistance - Teaches you to stay calm and relaxed not to meet force with force . Use there momentum against them selves .
