KARATE
 

I have been studying the martial art of Tang Soo Do since May of 1996.  I currently hold the rank of Red Belt 2nd Gup.  I will hopefully will be testing for my Red Belt 1st Gup by the end of the year.  I enjoy it very much even though I whine a little about some of the things we do, It really is a great work out.  The best part is breaking boards.  You would never think it was easy, but it is.

I started going to class for a couple of reasons.  My husband also studies the martial art of Tang Soo Do and currently holds the rank of 3rd Degree Black Belt.  This is something I thought would be fun to do together.  Plus he is a wonderful teacher.  I also felt that this might be a good way to help with weight loss.  I definitely need to lose some weight and so far it helps .  The last but not least reason why I joined, I had the very distinct pleasure and honor of knowing the founder of our club and Tom's first instructor, Master Edward Ormanian.  He passed away in June of 1995.  He was a very sweet man and I was so glad that I got the chance to meet him.  He was so kind and such a great teacher. I only wish I would have started taking class before he passed.

Tom is currently working on a web page for our club.  When that is done, I will add a link to that page and you can learn more about our club, the art and other interesting things.

Ck it out. Me kicking wood butt!!
