Our Narrative

Watch this video to learn the story starting centuries ago in ancient Korea and leading up to our studio this day.

His Vision

"This ancient art of self-defense where the scientific uses of hand and foot techniques are applied. For the young, karate is a developer of character and maker of maturity. For the middle-aged, karate is the maintainer of health, matching the mind and muscle 'you once had.' For the older, karate is the exercising tonic that reawakens keen senses and tones muscles.”

- Mr. Hyon, 1965
