We can’t wait to see our WTSDA One Family at one great location! Tang Soo!

How many marital arts clubs can brag that they have pets? Our Tiny Tigers and Little Dragons love feeding them and looking after them. When we stress our W.T.S.D.A. values, not even the neighbourhood cats are excluded!✨️👊

Congratulations to all the Region 14 blackbelts who demonstrated their indomitable Tang Soo Do Spirit. Now the real work begins. Region 14 is looking strong!

Jeonsa could not be more proud of these two black belts!

Jan Bezuidenhout took on the massive challenge of grading for a black belt and then competing the next day. Jan went on to win the Male Veteran Gup Championship Cup in a mere couple of hours after he received his Black Belt.

Nicole Burgers Not only secured a fantastic win of the Female Adult Dan Championship Cup. But also organised most of the competition itself. She is a leader like no other and an inspiration to us all.

Well done to these two warriors!

There is a reason they are called Masters.😎

Another intense BJJ session here at Jeonsa with a few promotions too! The road to a black belt in BJJ is one frought with challenges. Every step counts. Well done to everyone!

BSBN Fouche, KSN Nicole and ma'am Mieke appeared on We Are Centurion earlier this week to chat about the recent champs and all things Martial arts!
