European Tang Soo Do Federation - Promotional Video

www.europeantsd.com www.maltatangsoodo.com The European Tang Soo Do Association is strongly committed to teaching the Martial Art of Tang Soo Do in a highly disciplined, safe and positive environment which focuses on the development of high moral character including the core ethical values of respect, honesty and responsibility. Our students train in structured, often intensely physical classes in which they will master defense and combative techniques. We take pride in allowing our students to develop confidence in other fields of life through the martial arts and encourage a community spirit both during and outside of training. Tang Soo Do is principally an art form and while the focus of training sessions is to improve the physical self, our primary goal is to demonstrate to students how physical and mental training go hand in hand and demand hard work and respect. The total activity of European Tang Soo Do will be dedicated towards providing a stimulating learning environment for students. Our instructors are encouraged to explore new ideas in teaching, learning and research and to pursue technical initiatives compatible with the ETSDF ethos. We seek to improve self- control and awareness, concentration and focus, discipline and fitness. Together, we strive for self-betterment which is the tradition and legacy of the Korean Martial Arts. The Federation has clubs in England, Wales, Ireland and Malta. (See our list of class locations and times). All our classes are run by professional IMA approved instructors, maintain public liability insurance and are fully CRB checked. We always ensure that training sessions are safe, disciplined, fun and well supervised; we place great emphasis on this considering the extremely physical nature of our classes. Our classes follow the same format and consist of stretching, physical conditioning as well as the teaching of forms (Hyungs), one step self-defense techniques and free-sparring. Above all our students develop self discipline, respect and self confidence. We grade students every three months so they can advance in their development through the belt system.
