About Soft Style Karate
Soft karate techniques are characterized as being circular in nature and having flowing transitions with beautiful dynamic movement.
It utilizes a strong breathing method to generate and transmit internal energy Qi (Chinese) or ki (Japanese and Korean) similar to other martial arts such as tai chi, hapkido and aikido.
A well-performed soft style routine is a magnificent thing to behold and a wonderful achievement to perform.
Teachings are of the ancient Korean martial art of Soo Bahk Do – the artistic, “soft” side of the larger traditional karate style known as Tang Soo Do. For more go to Our Teachings
