We provide a wide range of support to students from all backgrounds and training levels. We offer military, family, senior citizen & referral discounts. We have been in the Center Stage Plaza since 1988 and continue to serve the Monaca, Center, Aliquippa, and surrounding areas. Since that time many students have come to see the benefits that a Great Martial Arts school can provide. All of our Instructors have clearances to work with children. We are also a member of Tang Soo Do Unlimited, an organization formed by Master Goss, whom has nearly 60 years of martial arts experience, to preserve the traditions and discipline of Tang Soo Do. Under this organization we ensure that every student receives the best Martial Arts education. Stop by to check us out!
