About Us
We are Tang Soo Do martial arts practitioners with the World Tang Soo Do Association in Region 2 (Arizona, Colorado, western Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and southern Idaho). Tang Soo Do is a striking style of martial arts utilizing hand strikes, kicks, blocks, and joint locks as a means of defense against strikes and grabs. Tang Soo Do is known for building character within its participants as it teaches respect for self and others.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to assist World Tang Soo Do (WTSDA) members with Tang Soo Do training and assist our WTSDA club and studio owners.
Each state may have many WTSDA certified studios and clubs, each studio and club may have many certified WTSDA members. Region 2 supports the entire region with training, guidance, and growth.
The region serves a similar purpose as studios and clubs – to assist and provide support to all WTSDA members within the region, ensuring that all WTSDA members are partnered with a certified WTSDA studio or club for continued growth. This is done by collectively drawing all studios, clubs, and its members together, many times during the year for WTSDA professional training.
