Dear Mr. Tullier,
We were looking for a martial arts class for our 6 year old son, Ryan, so that he would learn how to protect himself from the kids that had been harassing him for 2 years at school. My husband remembered a Tang Soo Do birthday party he took our daughter to a few years ago. He was impressed with the discipline and self-control the instructor required of each student.
After attending your class for only 1.5 months, Ryan has shown a marked improvement in how he carries himself, and how he treats others. We were looking for a self-defense class for our son- what we (he) got is so much more! He treats his family and friends with much more respect, and he doesn't let other kids push him around anymore. He still has room for improvement, especially with respect to controlling his anger, but your class has set him on the right path.
The beauty of your class is that it is so much fun for the kids. Ryan asks to go to class every day. Just yesterday, after 3 hours of basketball camp, he begged to go Tang Soo Do. He never complained about being too tired, because he was having fun!
The unyielding discipline by you and your staff, and the personal responsibility you require of your students allows kids a fun and safe place to learn how to be responsible young men and women.
Thank you for your dedication to these kids.

Dear Mr. Tullier:
My husband and I were pretty much at the end of our rope with our 6-year-old son's lack of self-control, discipline, aggressive energy and respect for authority. We desperately needed something to channel this behavior in a more positive manor.
I went online and found Tang Soo Do Karate. This school has been the blessing my husband and I have been waiting for.
It's now five and half months later and our son is like a new kid. Chris has more self control, more respect - not only for himself, but for our family and others as well. He's still quite energetic but this karate class allows him to channel that energy in a more positive way.
Chris is now a yellow belt and on his way to orange, with a dream of one day becoming a black belt. I thank God for the expert teachings of Michael Tullier and the Tang Soo Do Karate College of LA.
Thank you,
The Baker Family
Dear Mr. Tullier:
As a mental health professional, I see many children with behavior problems. One of the things that I recommend is that parents enroll their children in a karate course. The benefits to the children are immense.
Children who previously were unable to control their rage become more focused and are able to think before they act out in unacceptable ways. The martial arts training teach the children to focus and be self-disciplined. These new skills enable the children to control their rage and aggressive behaviors and to find more acceptable ways to solve their problems. Because they learn not to fight with other children they are able to may friends. The children are more able to concentrate in school thus decreasing their acting out behaviors in class, which enables them to learn.
I have seen children change their aggressive behaviors and parents have also commented on how much better their children behave and learn after children have enrolled in karate. I will continue to recommend karate to parents as a therapeutic intervention for their children.

Sa Bum Nim Tullier,
This past weekend, I was forced into an unavoidable altercation while out with my wife and some friends.
While leaving an establishment, my wife and I were confronted by a stranger in the parking lot. Fearful for my wife's safety, I sent her back to get help from friends while I confronted the stranger.
Insecure in my self-defense abilities, I was conscious of everything and I was able to throw and land two punches to the opponents face (nose and jaw) and kept further contact at bay using nothing more than a few side kicks. After throwing the first punch to his nose, the guy just lost his legs and dropped straight to the ground. To be honest, I was scared as "chicken little".
After the two punches, I was just trying to keep him out of reach until help got there. I didn't want to throw anything he could use against me. He took off once my friends came running. He had me in size, weight, build, but not in adrenaline.
I wanted to let both of you know about the altercation and that had I been able to talk my way out of it I would have. I got lucky this time. I might not next time. I hope to be released medically this week to begin training again. I will definitely TRAIN HARD.
Thank you for your guidance, teaching, and knowledge,
Sincerely, Jeffrey T. Brister
