was founded by Sensei Doug Armstrong in 1995 and combines elements of Tae Kwon
Do, Go-Ju and small circle Ju-Jitsu. During training emphasis is placed on self defense,
kata, point sparring, grappling, breaking, flexibility and strength conditioning.

Although physical training is very important, mental training must not be neglected.
Self-confidence, self-discipline and respect for others is emphasized during classes.
Students are encouraged to practice these attributes outside of the dojo and within
their every day lives as well.
