 About 7 Tigers

7 Tigers Taekwondo and Hapkido School is Charlottesville’s leader in martial arts training since 1990. Headed by Grand Master Thomas Henzey (7th Dan) under Grand Master Sung Soo Lee (9th Dan), we offer a number of programs for physical fitness and instruction in Taekwondo and Hapkido.

Men, women and children of all ages can take advantage of our programs. Each student is given personalized instruction and attention from certified Black Belt instructors, with emphasis placed on individual ability.

The training and exercises at 7 Tigers Taekwondo and Hapkido develop physical and mental coordination, self-confidence, as well as relaxation, which involve the movement of the entire body will keep you trim, fit and in good health. 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.

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
