About The Horangi Tang Soo Do
Building confidence, character and community through traditional Tang Soo Do in a welcoming environment for children, teenagers and adults.
At Horangi Tang Soo Do, we believe martial arts is about far more than learning techniques. It is about developing confidence, discipline, respect and resilience in a welcoming environment where every student is encouraged to achieve their personal best.
Whether you are six years old and taking your very first class or an adult looking for a new challenge, you will become part of a supportive community that values personal growth as much as martial arts excellence.
Welcome to Horangi Tang Soo Do

Our Story
Horangi Tang Soo Do was founded with a clear vision: to provide high-quality traditional Tang Soo Do in an environment where every student feels welcomed, supported and inspired to succeed.
Our association combines traditional Korean martial arts with modern teaching methods, ensuring that students develop strong technical skills alongside confidence, discipline and respect. Every lesson is carefully structured to help students progress safely while enjoying the journey of learning.
We believe martial arts should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age, background or previous experience. From a child's first lesson to an adult returning to training after many years, every student is encouraged to work towards their own personal goals while becoming part of a supportive martial arts family.
As Horangi Tang Soo Do continues to grow, our commitment remains the same: preserving the traditions of Tang Soo Do while helping people become stronger, healthier and more confident in every aspect of life.
