Oakstrong’s karate instruction employs various formats to teach skills – basic techniques, multi-technique combinations, movement training, traditional forms, and free sparring in a safe and noncompetitive environment.

Beginners are always welcome – classes are on-going – you can enroll at any time and your first class is free.

In each class you will see, hear and practice the physical and energetic aspects of Tang Soo Do karate that display the art and enable the potential to generate and transmit qigong energy. Self-defense strategies and techniques are integral in every class. Often we include weapons training.

Classes are small for personal instruction, and the other students form a wonderful support system and community. Classes are open to men, women and serious young adults.

Each type of class follows a standardized basic-to-advanced curriculum that provides the opportunity for you to learn and grow at your own pace and ability. Curriculum is comprehensive from beginner to black belt and beyond. Along the way you will gain confidence, strength, and in no small way make it possible to defend yourself.

New students are welcome to join at any time. Beginners need no special uniform or equipment, just a curious nature and a desire to learn. All techniques are explained and demonstrated to help students at every skill level achieve and enjoy.
