TKD Academy Black Belts Engage In Higher Learning with
World-Renowned Master Clarence Murray, 6th Degree
Black Belt and North American Martial Arts Hall of Fame Member

"A man cannot understand the perfection and imperfections of his chosen art if he cannot see the value in other arts. Following rules only permits development up to a point in technique; to advance further the student and artist must learn and seek other knowledge. It makes sense to study other arts as well as those of strategy" -- The Book of Five Rings


Your Pursuit of Excellence Begins Here!

"It is important to realize that technique is not the end of an art. Those good in technique, regardless of the art they pursue, are not necessarily able to teach the true meaning of an art. Beginning students who do not know this and who think that they are being brought to the threshold of understanding are not to blame so much as those who teach without understanding the inner and the outer worlds of the art of which they profess to be masters. It is useless for people who look good in play competition to think in terms of being masters. They appear to understand and as a result permit their own self-importance to convince them that they are bearers of the truth. " -- The Book of Five Rings


Many of us have been taught that to stop growing is to whither and die. The instructors and black belts of TKD Martial Arts are as dedicated to expanding their knowledge of the martial arts as they are in sharing their knowledge with their students. It is only through the continual renewal of knowledge that the academy continues to grow.

Under the tutelage of Master Murray, we continue in our own Pursuit of Excellence.
