Sooyang Do Martial Art - Bridge of Don

Sooyang Do Martial Art - Bridge of Don Sooyang Do training enables the participant to learn valuable self defence skills, get fit and de stress in a safe and friendly environment.

Sooyang Do is specifically designed to be suitable for all ages (5 upwards) and for all ability levels. No previous martial arts experience is necessary and the main requirement is enthusiasm. Each belt level has a formal syllabus which must be learned to enable the student to progress to the next level. The technical progress of each student is monitored by way of grading events (belt examinations) which are held every three months and students must train on average twice per week to be eligible for grading. All of our Instructors hold up to date First Aid certification, PVG certification and Public Liability Insurance and also regularly attend additional third party coaching sessions to continually improve their coaching skills and to reinforce their awareness of issues such as those surrounding the teaching of children and vulnerable adults. The individual and collective dedication of our instructors has led us to being the first martial arts organisation to be awarded ENHANCED CLUBCAP accreditation from Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Council, which reinforces our standing as a responsibly and scrupulously run organisation. Since the founding of Sooyang Do by Master Bruce Wood in 2003 it has become firmly established as the most popular martial art in the North East with around 1000 active participants and various classes being run throughout Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire.

SOOYANG DO, MASTRICK
OCTOBER 28TH 2026

Sooyang Do - Mastrick

We are delighted to confirm that Sooyang Do classes will be returning to the area and will be held at:

St Clement's Church
Mastrick Drive,
Aberdeen,
AB16 6UF

Start Date: Wednesday 28th October
Time: 6:00pm

We are also pleased to announce that classes will be regularly led by our Founder and Master Instructor, Bruce Wood (5th Dan), alongside other qualified and experienced Sooyang Do instructors.

This presents a fantastic opportunity for students to train under the guidance of our most experienced and highest ranked instructor, whilst also benefiting from the expertise of our wider instructional team.

We would like to warmly invite all former Sooyang Do students, from our Summerhill, Northfield, Sheddocksley and Cairncry classes to join us and continue their Sooyang Do journey, as well as welcome new students to our art.

Sooyang Do is about far more than martial arts. It is about helping each individual become the best version of themselves, regardless of age, ability or experience. Through training, students develop confidence, character, resilience, self belief, discipline and respect, whilst progressing at their own pace in a supportive and encouraging environment.

Whilst some students may choose to pursue challenges such as competitions and our advanced training opportunities, our primary focus has always been on personal growth and helping every student realise their full potential both on and off the training floor.

We are excited to continue helping our students develop these qualities while progressing through the ranks and working towards their future goals.

Many friendships and great memories have been built through these classes over the years, and we are looking forward to seeing both new and familiar faces again as we begin this exciting new chapter.

If you have any questions or would like any further information, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

We look forward to welcoming you to class on Wednesday 28th October at 6:00pm.

NATIONAL FITNESS DAY 2026 | SOOYANG DO 💪

Last week it was national fitness day, so we wanted to give you a bit of an insight into the benefits of training at Sooyang Do.

Fitness is more than just getting stronger.. it’s about nurturing & maintaining mind, body & spirit‼️

Some benefits of training @ Sooyang Do 👇

💪Full body workout - Sooyang Do training engages nearly every muscle group in the body, providing a well-rounded workout. Movements such as punches, kicks, blocks & stances, while also incorporating body weight exercises.

💪 Strength: Builds muscle through dynamic, isometric & plyometric exercises.

🫀Endurance: Improves cardiovascular fitness through high-intensity drills. The heart will become healthier through activity.

🥋Flexibility: Promotes joint mobility and range of motion through stretching and dynamic movements & strengthening of the surrounding muscle tissue.

⭕️Rotational movement: Sooyang Do is designed to be better on the body in comparison to other / more traditional martial arts. Our technical system allows use of the joints in a more natural way, while also maximising power in the technique starting from the feet & working up the body with optimal rotation.. which leads to more power within the technique.

⚡️ Enhance Coordination – Improve balance, speed, timing and body control.

👊Build Confidence – Train with others, challenge yourself and grow through consistent practice.

🧠 Sharpen Your Focus – Martial arts training develops concentration, discipline and mental awareness.

Whether you are age 5 or 50+ Sooyang Do can accommodate you for your personal & fitness goals.

Move better. Live stronger. Train Sooyang Do.

🌟 take the first step towards a fitter, stronger you! Our ONE MONTH FREE TRAINING offer is still active.
