Learning New Tricks
Classes for Fitness and Self-Defense

Master Henry utilizes auditory, visual, and active learning styles in class to ensure the students fully understand the material.  Notebooks are highly recommended just as one may have for school.  Apart from the normal curriculum, students will analyze, in depth, special techniques and theories that have been passed down from Grandmaster Dong's instructor in Korea.  This information is not included in our student manuals.  The more classes you take, the more you learn.

Student manuals are available just like one may have a textbook for school.  This manual, written by Grandmaster Dong, outlines the basic requirements from beginner to black belt.  This information has been proven useful when practicing at home.  A video series is also available.

Advice for Beginners

Haven't made up your mind yet? Call or stop by for a free intro lesson. This can be a private class or you can bring a friend along.
First class? It is normal to feel a little nervous... not really knowing what to expect.  This is normal, but you will soon realize that you have become part of a larger family. Remember, we all had our 1st class before too.
First few months? Most people who begin martial arts training are eager to learn.  They learn the movements of something new and then quickly look for the next, all the while never understanding the meaning.  While eagerness is part of a great attitude, our advice would be to slow down and enjoy the experience.  It's one thing to know a hundred techniques, but to master them is the adventure.  What may seem basic now, may be the foundation of something even bigger later.
