What will I get from BTSD that the other clubs don't offer?
Aside from the physical differences between Tang Soo Do and Tae Kwon Do and Tai Chi, etc., BTSD is renowned within the Dept. of RecSports for its student development. Our primary goal is to teach students how to become effective leaders and warriors in our everyday world. Your training won't stop at kicking and punching but will encompass every part of your life - that's what makes it an art. An adage that has been used to describe us is "We don't train infantry, we train generals."
Several clubs at OSU focus entirely on physical development where your progress is dependent on your personal ability. Tang Soo Do has endured because it is not only a very effective method of self-defense but it is compatible to every body type and disability and provides knowledge and training for everyone.
Buckeye Tang Soo Do is designed to develop your individual character, mental strength, integrity, and respect for others through physically demanding and emotionally exhausting training. Superficially, it is a method of empty-hand, and foot and weapon fighting, based on the scientific use of the body in self-defense. Technically, it is based on the principles of yielding, circular motion, and penetration. The reputation for superior kicking techniques and development of the legs is another proud asset of Tang Soo Do.
