Apex ADULT MARTIAL ARTS

Tang Soo Do, a type of Korean karate, has been around for over 2,000 years, making it one of the oldest forms of karate still in use today. It is a Korean martial art that combines some traditional moves from Korea’s taekkyeon and subak, and even a bit from northern Chinese fighting styles.

Get the Confidence to Protect Yourself & Your Loved Ones With Martial Arts Classes

Alongside the traditional Tang Soo Do forms (choreographed patterns of movements), we teach you self-defense skills that can work outside the dojang. You will learn how to spot trouble before it starts and how to avoid it. But if you ever find yourself in a sticky situation, you will know how to defend yourself effectively by learning how to break free from someone grabbing you, how to block a punch, or how to disable an attacker long enough to get away safely.

Calmness and Mental Clarity through Martial Arts

It is one thing to know the moves, but it is another to be able to use them when you are scared or under duress. Our training helps you stay calm and think clearly, even when your adrenaline is pumping.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age range are the adult self-defense classes Apex for?

Our adult martial arts programs are open to anyone aged 15 and older.

Do I need any prior experience in martial arts?

No prior martial arts lessons are necessary. Whether you are starting from scratch or have some background in martial arts, our classes are designed to cater to all levels.

Are there belt rankings in Tang Soo Do?

Yes, we have a belt system starting from White Belt (beginner) and then going all the way to Cho Dan (1st Black Belt). There are 10 student grades/levels (10th Gup to 1st Gup) and then different Dan grades. A Master starts at the 4th degree and a Grandmaster a 10th degree. Master DuScheid is himself a 6th degree. Each level represents your skill, and you will have tests to pass before moving to the next one.

How long does it take to progress through the ranks?

It depends. Some people might move up quickly if they attend classes regularly and practice a lot, while others might take more time. Generally, it takes 3 months between every test white belt rank up to a red belt. Test intervals can be 6 months or longer afterward. With good progress and regular attendance, a student can become a black belt in 4.5 years.

What are the physical fitness requirements?

It is not necessary to be extremely fit to start with your martial arts lessons. Tang Soo Do will gradually improve your strength, flexibility, and stamina. Our instructors will help you work at your own pace and gradually increase the intensity of training.
