SORIAN-DO is a Modern Martial Arts System founded in 1998 with its roots in Song Moo Kwon Tae Kwon Do, one of the oldest forms of Korean fighting.
SORIAN-DO has become a complete and well-rounded martial art that utilizes abrupt linear movements, flowing circular patterns, strong hand techniques, lightning-fast kicking combinations, powerful takedowns, and quick and effective submission (grappling) techniques. The school curriculum also includes a traditional and contemporary weapons program, as well as scenario training to ensure a realistic approach for effective self-defense.
SORIAN-DO is a training system for both the mind and the body, with emphasis on the development of values and life skills such as goal setting, self-discipline, and good moral values.
