Master Robinson believes that students and instructors should “Be true to Tang Soo Do and to ourselves as martial artists. The physical feats we accomplish are awesome. However, the mental growth we experience through Cheezic Tang Soo Do is truly powerful indeed. Embrace that philosophy for yourself and share it, with great humility, and you and your students will thrive and succeed in all areas of life.” Read more about Master Robinson here. |
