We currently offer two styles of martial arts at Yowell Karate. Below is a little information about them.

TANG SOO DO

The primary style taught in our Dojang is Tang Soo Do. It is a Korean martial art that has it's roots in Chinese, Okinawan and Japanese styles. The founder of our style was Grandmaster Hwang Kee. Grandmaster Hwang Kee founded the Moo Duk Kwan (Tang Soo Do) on November 9th, 1945.

Our lineage is as follows: Grandmaster Hwang Kee taught Shin Jae Shil, Shin Jae Shil taught Chuck Norris, Chuck Norris taught Duke Tirschel and Duke Tirschel taught James Yowell.

While there have been a few modifications to the current version of Tang Soo do that is taught here, we are still a traditional martial art. We recognize and respect where our art came from.
