About NVCC Tang Soo Do
The Northern Virginia Community College (NVCC) Tang Soo Do Student Interest Group is a traditional martial arts club that is based at the Alexandria Campus of NVCC and is facilitated by Brown's Karate. The group is also open to members of the local community and faculty of the college. We focus on three aspects of traditional martial arts training: basics, form and sparring and use traditional Tang Soo Do training primarily as a way to develop the mind and body, secondarily as a sport and fighting method. Consequently, we do not bill our art as a “combat art” or a system of “self-defense.” Of course one inevitably learns some self-defense skills through the practice of Tang Soo Do, but spiritual development, personal growth and perfection of character are the main goals of Tang Soo Do training. We adhere to the "Eight Key Concepts", requisites of mental and physical training as developed by Moo Duk Kwan founder, Hwang Kee. We also observe the "Dojo Kun" as conceived by Shotokan founder, Funakoshi Gichin. We are members of the United States Goodwill Tang Soo Do Association and some members of the club compete in the Amateur Athletic Union Taekwondo program.
