Martial arts is traditionally
a formalized system of combat militarty training that has been modernized as a fighting system and is also taught for
self-defense, as a sport, and to encourage artistic expression.
At Four Seasons Karate, we focus on teaching all our students the self-defense and sport aspects of
martial arts. In addition, for our adult students, we teach the practical application of martial combat that includes the
use of modern day weaponry for self defense.
Tang
Soo Do, the "way of the empty hand" is a Korean style martial art with Chinese ancestry. Tang Soo Do harmonizes
the ideals that were rooted here by our ancestors...having reverence for nature and centering their philosophy on the cycle
of life...the four seasons.
Our instructors are educated professionals who have mastered the art of teaching, karate,
and working with kids and adults. The 'four seasons philosophy' is the basis of our teaching style,
our karate lessons, and our student development programs. This philosophy is a special combination of friendly
but firm instruction that is fair, consistent, respected and valued by our students. Students receive individual
attention and a lot of encouragement while we celebrate their triumphs both large and small.
