Martial Arts is a Journey
We come here for many reasons, Some want to learn to defend themselves, Some want to get into shape and become healthy, Others want to compete for the medals, the trophies, and bragging rights. But we have all come to train and desire to be great martial artist. Martial Arts is a life long journey, the longer you practice the more you find that you want to learn more. There is an endless supply of skills and techniques to be learned and mastered. You will never be short of challenges for yourself if you only look. Martial Arts becomes a way of life and the teachings apply to all parts of your life. You will find it strenuous yet relaxing, challenging yet satisfying, you will feel powerful yet become passive because you know you have the power. It is a wonderful journey that can fill your life with many great experiences and memories. Today is your first step of many on this wonderful adventure in Youn Wha Ryu.
We offer a family class for 7 years of age and up. Younger students are considered if being joined by an adult family member. you will find young and not so young students at our classes.
