KDA Karate is the absolute best Martial Arts school in Columbia. They offer Wing Chun, Dangsoodo,…read moreJapanese Sword, Taijutsu as well as a Ladies Martial Arts class. The instructors: Sifu Mosher, Dan Bernardo, Tina Lewis and Ryan Wineland are the most knowledgeable martial arts and self defense teachers in the area. The price is beyond fair and much lower then you would expect for the expert level of instruction. Also, there is no long term contracts, which is great. There are other schools in the area that offer these arts but don't waste your time. Especially if you're interested in Wing Chun. I can say without a doubt this is the only school offering quality Wing Chun instruction in the Columbia and Lexington area. Sifu Mosher is astounding. Dan Bernardo teaching Dangsoodo and Japanese Sword is a true old school martial artist who is beyond knowledgeable on the history and application of his art. Ryan Winleand's Taijutsu is beyond impressive in it's fluidity and effectiveness. I think he may actually be a ninja. Tina Lewis's will have any lady prepared for the fight and ready to go. Try it out. You won't be disappointed.

Our head instructor is the Vice President of the Korea Dangsoodo Association, an international organization with schools all over the world. Wing Chun "詠春" - a concept-based Chinese martial art and form of self-defense utilising both striking and grappling while specialising in close-range combat. Most will recognize this art as the only art Bruce Lee formally studied. Iaido "居合道" - a Japanese sword art centering on the applications of drawing and cutting with the sword. We practice "koryu" or old school Iai rather than a modern style.

Mr. Thomas, I just…read morerecently visited one of our young men at Church when he was awarded his Black Belt at your School. 1st, I would like to say that I am encouraged by what you and your Wife are doing to instill integrity, confidence, respect, and Social Etiquette to those young Men and Women. I think the Self Defense is a BONUS, seeing what other difficulties they may face in this Society. I am one of the Elder's at Dr, Myer's Church who happens to be from New York City. It dawned on me after meeting you that you may know one of the Fella's that used to run with us back in the day whose name is J.J. Thomas. He was a Music Major at State after he left the Bronx. Could just be a shot in the dark, but nevertheless we are glad that you are a part of the City of Columbia Framework because God knows we need Men and Women of Integrity who can impact the lives of our youngster like you and the Mrs. are doing. God Bless You****
