Ive never heard of Tang Soo Do before, what is it exactly?
Tang Soo Do is a traditional Korean martial art that was founded in the early twentieth century by combining styles that existed on the Korean peninsula for thousands of years. Tang Soo Do is most famous for its kicks, but includes just as many and varied striking and blocking techniques as well as basic self-defense, making it a well-balanced standing style. Tang Soo Do is considered an art and not a sport, so even though there are many tournaments and sparring competitions, the emphasis is placed on learning and applying the art rather than competing. Think of it as Korean Karate.
