Besides keeping you physically fit, your training can be most effective and powerful when used in self defense.

Our style is a blend of Korean Martial Arts including Jidokwan, Taekwondo, and Hapkido. All three of these martial arts make up the American Jidokwan system founded by
Grand Master Henzey in conjunction with Grand Master Sung Soo Lee.

Grand Master Sung Soo Lee

Grand Master Thomas Henzey

Over the years Taekwondo has slowly become a sport rather than a martial art.

Grand Master Henzey believes that Taekwondo should remain a martial art. With that in mind, he has developed the American Jidokwan System which incorporates the following:

  • The forms and kicking of Taekwondo
  • The footwork, self-defense, weapons and philosophy of the Jidokwan (a predecessor of Taekwondo)
  • The throws, takedowns and joint locks of Hapkido

Grand Master Sung Soo Lee (9th Dan) while on his visit to the USA, taught and demonstrated Hapkido during several seminars at Charlottesville High School in April 2006. Hosted by 7 Tigers Taekwondo and Hapkido.

Grand Master Sung Soo Lee also spent several days teaching and demonstrating to students several aspects of Jidokwan Taekwondo and Hapkido at 7 Tigers Taekwondo and Hapkido.
