Welcome to the ATMA website! We hope that this website has all the information that you need to learn more about the traditional art of Tang Soo Do. If you are new to Karate and you are interested in trying out our family friendly and fun sport then please use the links on your left to find a local training session. All of our experienced instructors will give you a friendly welcome and a free taste of Tang Soo Do for the first lesson. For those of you who are already members of ATMA you should find a wealth of information that will help you in preparing for your belt tests and furthering your knowledge of the art at home.
The study of martial arts requires dedication, perseverance and diligent practice. Without these attributes, the information on this website will be of little use to you. This website is also no substitute for regular training and practice. For those who show the dedication and perseverance to succeed, martial arts will bring many rewards- fitness, confidence, self-discipline, focus, or just fun! Our classes are geared to suit everyone, regardless of age or ability, and we aim to pass on as much knowledge and as many skills as possible, so that your journey in the martial arts will take you to any goal you want to achieve.
If you ever need any help or guidance with your training - ASK! The instructors and senior grades are always happy to share their knowledge, but only with those who want to know. Those who do not seek the knowledge will never find it. When preparing for your grading - READ THE MANUAL! Everything you will be questioned on up to Dan Grade is in this book. If you have any of our DVD's - WATCH THEM and use them to PRACTISE AT HOME. Knowledge is not passed on just by owning the material. We wish you the best in your study of the martial arts and we hope that your dedication brings you as many rewards as it has brought To us!
Tang Soo!
