Mastery From the Inside, Out

T&T Karate stands out in a crowd! We are owned and operated by two female masters. Our program emphasizes personal growth and character development. We are a certified Autism Supportive Environment, but that training isn't limited to kids on the Spectrum. It makes us considerate to each individual and helps us understand their unique needs.

Read below our mission, vision, and values to learn more about why T&T Karate is special.

Mission Statement

Dedicated to our students' personal growth, T&T Karate is a traditional martial arts school in Hyde Park, NY with two female Master instructors and a growing support staff. We combine traditional Korean Tang Soo Do training, self-empowerment, and value-based lectures to build up our students in the body, mind, and spirit. T&T Karate -- the staff, students, and parents -- are a big, extended family who work together to build better individuals and improve the community. We as a family seek to improve and enrich the lives of every student who trains with us.

Vision

T&T Karate builds better members of the community; we seek to instill strong character traits in our students, such as compassion, integrity, and persistence.

Values

The "T&T" in T&T Karate stands for Truth and Transformation. This emphasizes how we seek to build strong bodies and strong hearts in our students. The T&T Karate family is guided by our beliefs in these values:

• Truth: Honesty between instructors and students creates a trustworthy environment for learning and growing. Also, we encourage our students to show integrity - doing the right thing even when no one is watching.
  
• Transformation: Tang Soo Do has the capability to enrich and change lives. Students and Leadership are expected to always aim for growth in behavior, academics, and interpersonal relationships.
  
• Lead By Example: T&T Karate creates leaders. Both our Leadership Team and our average students are encouraged to lead others by doing what's right, rather than just saying what's right.
  
• "Keep it real!" - Every moment of class is preparing students for a real life self-defense situation. Students are expected to train with ultimate motivation and intensity.
  

My kids and I are very thrilled to be a part of this family."
