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 isforemost 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 instructors teach and train for their livelyhood, and as a way of life, not to mention all of our instructors have Korea Certification and are guarenteed certified instructors of the Korean Martial Art of Tang Soo Do and Haidong Gumdo.
