Since the first class was taught many years ago, the focus of our program has remained the same: to provide students the highest quality martial arts instruction available in a safe and positive learning environment that people of all ages can enjoy. Our instructors combine excellent student instructor ratios with state of the art training facilities. This has helped establish USTC schools as the leaders in the martial arts industry. Each instructor is a graduate of an instructor program that represents more than thirty years of research and development. He or she will be with you every step of the way to help you reach your individual goals.
Grandmaster Myong Hak Kang
Grand Master Kang has over 50 years of teaching experience. All of these years in dedication to the art of Tae Kwon Do make him one of the best and most qualified instructors in the world.
I would like to welcome you to our Tae Kwon Do family. Tae Kwon Do is a Korean Martial Art that has been handed down from instructor to student for over 2,000 years. Students of Tae Kwon Do not only learn self-defense, but become physically fit, develop self-confidence, and strong minds. Tae Kwon Do does not promote violence, but encourages the use of the mind before the fist. Knowledge is power.
I am here to help you learn the ways of Tae Kwon Do. Your hard work and perseverance are the keys to your success. I wish you good luck in your endeavor.

Master Yi's eyes shine bright when he explains that although his accomplishments in his life make him feel proud, nothing really beats teaching. The look of clouds breaking in a child's eye, the look of "I really understand!!" makes him feel that his accomplishments as a teacher is the highlight of his career as a martial artist.
Master Yi feels that Tae Kwon Do has had a 100% positive effect on his life. Even after the physical part of Tae Kwon Do is gone, the spiritual part - the perseverance, integrity, and the never give up attitude will always be a part of him. He would like for his students to understand that they should never give up. Self-confidence gained in training brings confidence throughout your life.
