At Trinity Martial Arts, we pride ourselves on teaching sport karate, traditional martial arts, and practical self-defense. That being said, our curriculum stems from the traditional Korean martial art of Tang Soo Do. Because of this, we use traditional Korean commands in class and teach the Korean names of all our techniques.
Below is some of the common terminology we use for your reference at home. For specific terminology regarding techniques (such as that used in Black Belt exams) you can email us at info@trinitymartialartsny.com to receive a document of your current terminology.
