Tang Soo Do Classes (Kids/Adults)
This is the heart and soul of Pyung Ahn Martial Arts. We teach Tang Soo Do which is of Moo Duk Kwan lineage and heritage, however, it is unique per the experience of our Instructor. This what is refered to as the "Ladd Ryu Pa of Tang Soo Do". You may read more about that in About Pyung Ahn Martial Arts of Raleigh.
There is not a separate curriculum for kids and adults. However, pedagogy does tend to be different in each class. It is for this reason that kids do need to obtain permission before attending adult classes however adults may attend whatever classes they wish per rank eligibility.
Fit Defense, for Women
This is a program that has been was specially created by Mr. Ladd. It marries the fun & intensity of a cardio-karate work out with the practical instruction of a classical self-defense class. This program was launched in March of 2008. There is no uniforms, no ranks, no testing, etc. Just a fun work out! Come experience a truly unique work-out and learning experience! If you have questions about this program, or are interested in becoming certified to offer this program in your school, then Contact Us.
Submission Club
This is a group of martial artists (restricted to adults) who are dedicated to using this time to explore exclusively Yu Sul (grappling) techniques and strategies. Although we do have some knowledgeable & skilled members of this group a new member need not have any experience to join. This group is somewhat informal and does not require a special uniform (although its recommended) nor is there any rank testing or certification associated with this group. This is a great work out for everyone!
