The Way of the Chinese Hand
Tang Soo Do is a Korean karate form known as The Way of The Chinese Hand. Mark has been training under Master Chris Smith since 2011 and said ‘the grading on 9th December was best described as intense involving completing three senior forms; one to one free sparring, then one against three black belts free sparring followed by the three brick breaking technique. It was smashing!”
