North
American
Karate and Fitness is a traditional martial arts school teaching its
students how to improve their lifestyle in general by bettering mind,
body and spirit through the arts of Tang Soo Do and Haidong Gumdo. NAKF
is a grouping of schools under the parent organization of the North
American Tang Soo Do Association, both of which are headed by Master
Peter Oien whom has been a practicing martial artist for over 30 years.
The
basis of Tang Soo Do is to teach its pupil the
ways of confidence,discipline, self defense and physical fitness though
the 8 key concepts of courage, concentration, endurance, honesty,
humility, control of power, tension and relaxation, and speed control.
Tang Soo Do is foremost a striking art using blocks, punches, kicks and
joint locks for self defense and to build physical fitness.
The
depth of the art is endless, what you learn is
solely on the desire to strive forward, and to better one's self.
Everyone from the youngest child to the most senior adult is able and
welcome to learn. Tang Soo Do is accepting to anyone of any age, race
or level of physical fitness and ability. There is nothing stopping
anyone from training and bettering themselves and their
lifestyle.
Today
anyone can open a Martial Arts School no
matter what their talent, what they have accomplished, or even if they
have the skills
to be a teacher. Being a teacher and
holding a black belt in Karate are two different skill sets.
If
you or your children are going to
train
in the Martial Arts, go to a trusted school of 30
years,
train with certified instructors of the Martial Arts who don't teach
the art as a side job or hobby or for fun or extra money. All of our
