 PhilosophySoo Bahk Do is a philosophy based martial art that teaches defense and doing the right thing. Our philosophy guides our intent toward the good. To practice martial arts without such a philosophy is creating more dangerous people in the world. Our philosophy is to create mature persons free from inner conflict who deal with the world in an intelligent, forthright, and virtuous manner. |  Discipline & RespectSoo Bahk Do begins with the discipline of self and respect for all people. Discipline and respect are the foundation for all human relations. Discipline and respect combine as a foundation for our action philosophy which is seen in helping and caring for others through kindness and dependability. |  EnduranceTraining in Soo Bahk Do teaches physical, mental, and spiritual endurance. The physical endurance is easy to see, but the development of mental endurance to focus beyond distractions is what allows us to accomplish our goals in life. Spiritual endurance allows us to will ourselves to stick with and work at those things that are worthwhile even when they become difficult. Endurance brings accomplishment and rich, long-lasting relationships. |  FunAt Spotsylvania Karate Soo Bahk Do, we strive to make classes fun and enjoyable. Smiling faces and a sense of accomplishment are at the heart of our Soo Bahk Do family. We strive to present the Soo Bahk Do curriculum through classes, clinics, and events that allow for fun, enjoyment, and the sense of achievement. |  DedicationSoo Bahk Do is an art of lifelong learning. The teachers are still students and developing. It takes dedication to be a good student of the art and more dedication to share the art as a teacher. At Spotsylvania Karate Soo Bahk Do, we emphasize that excellent teaching produces excellent teachers. |  AffordabilityAt Spotsylvania Karate Soo Bahk Do, we love training and understand that training affordability is a factor. We have teamed up with Spotsylvania County Parks and Rec to keep our program affordable and without long term contracts. |
