Cambridge Tang Soo Do

I have been practicing at Cambridge Tang Soo Do now for around five years and there is not one critique that I can recall. This is literally in my humble opinion the best martial arts school in the Boston area.
The two things that I most like about Cambridge Tang Soo Do are:
The depth of knowledge of the instructors is impressive! The ratio of senior black belts to junior students allows for excellent personalized instruction. Master Klacko provides for a great and balanced atmosphere that is not only rewarding and challenging but also stimulating. Thus, the school attracts a great group of students of various backgrounds.
Unlike most other Martial Arts places that are run like a business Cambridge Tang Soo Do is run like a college. The focus is on teaching the students and allowing them to grow rather than on how much your next belt will cost. Cambridge Tang Soo Do is therefore very economical and does not have hidden costs.
A review cannot adequately convey how wonderful training at Cambridge Tang Soo Do is so I would recommend that you just drop by for two FREE classes and judge for yourself.

I joined Tang Soo Do for fitness and also because I’ve always been interested in Martial Arts. My first trial class was great. The teacher, the students were all welcoming. Master Klacko, Master Duva give personal attention to every student and since I was new I was taught separately by another black belt so I can understand the basics. The good thing about Tang Soo Do is that it is not just karate. It’s a martial arts created for military in Korea and that’s why it makes you do all kinds of stretching, kicks, punches, defence, use of weapons etc. I’ve learnt new things in every class that I went to. Martial Arts in general help you control and focus your body energies so that they can be used effectively. I really recommend it to anyone who’s interested in Martial Arts or just looking for a good fitness workout.
The classes occur 3 days a week — Tuesday and Thursday evening and then Saturday morning. The times are very convenient for working people and for students too. The monthly fee is also reasonable.
Highly recommended.

If you are looking to practice a traditional martial art, then this is your place. Master Klacko is an excellent teacher, being both friendly and knowledgeable and welcomes anyone who wants to learn into his school.
It should be noted that this school is nonprofit, and all of the instructors have day jobs. They teach because they all truly love the art and want to pass it along to those who want to learn. This is not to put down any of the reputable for-​profit martial arts studios in the area, but it is just one of the things that makes Cambridge TSD different.
Back to the class… you will learn something new each session. Other students are friendly and always willing to help each other out, as courtesy and respect are the foundations of our art.
The location of the school is actually in the Cambridge Athletic Club in the Atheneaum Building in Kendall Square. You can either join the gym or just sign up for the martial arts training. Classes are primarily held in the newly renovated «dojang» which is also doubles as the gym’s group exercise room. On weekends, there are kids classes as well and parents are encouraged to join.
I switched from taekwondo, which had more of a focus on sport sparring, to tang soo do. I find that tang soo do has more of a complete martial art focus, because we train both hand and foot techniques, self defense, weaponry, sparring, forms, and more. Additionally, there is a great emphasis on truly learning the art, the history and meaning behind each move and why it’s done.
If you’re curious about the martial arts, learning self defense, or looking for a new form of exercise, then I highly recommend checking this place out. Convenient to the T and free parking as well.
