I have trained in the studio as a teenager and as an adult since 1996 and currently am a 1st degree certified World Tang Soo Do Association Black Belt instructor. Many things have changed over the years but the quality of the instruction continues to be excellent while having been adapted and changed over the years.
WTSDA martial arts has been taught the longest at the school. Each WTSDA black belt instructor has to go through a program set by the studio and WTSDA and be tested in order to become a certified instructor. The quality of the instructors is shown through the attention to detail they give each individual student to prepare them to move through the ranks from white belt to black belt. Each student learns various Korean words and commands.
The studio, Range Martial Arts, in Chisholm, MN has been the longest running Korean martial arts school on the Iron Range in Minnesota. Haidong Gumdo has recently been added to the school after careful planning with a Master in Haidong Gumdo from the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. A WTSDA black belt instructor took charge and trained up before being allowed to teach the Haindong Gumdo material to insure quality of the instruction. read more
