    5 Stars Chop Suey ..... 11/02/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent way to get fit have fun and learn how to protect yourself.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Dont do it if you arent ready for the workout of your life.

    After a winter without sport I was starting to get bored of being indoors and was realising I was spending too much time on ciao.com. I decided to have a look for something that I could do, not only to keep me fit but to give my brain a workout as well. I decided that a martial art would not only help me to keep fit and active but the co-ordination required and the high skill levels needed would also keep my brain occupied better than going back to the team sports that I had played / coached for many years. I discovered what I was looking for while talking to a friend about his Duke Of ... more

    5 Stars A great practical martial art! 25/01/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages getting extremely fit, learn practical self defence, make new friends

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none that come to mind

    I started Tang Sou Dao in 2008 after reading a magazine article in a martial arts magazine and found they had some classes near me. I have been doing various forms of martial arts for around 10 years such as karate and Tae Kwon Do. I went along to my first lesson, I was slightly nervous but my nerves were soon settled. The class was very friendly and welcoming. The instructor spoke to me and explained a bit about the style, the class rules and checked if I had any medical issues he should be awatre of. The class started with a warm up ans stretching which I thoroughly enjoyed. We then moved ... more

    5 Stars Tang Sou Dao - veiw from a beginner 18/08/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages You get to meet people and get a good work out.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Painful at first lesson! Muscles develop in back of leg, not good for wearing strappy sandals!

    I went along to my first lesson of Tang Sou Dao (TSD) in early May 2002, a few of my friends went already, so I thought I'd go alongg and see what it's like. I wore trousers and a t-shirt, which was fine, but you must make sure you can move a lot in them, so no skirts or jeans! When i arrived at the lesson I walked into the hall and saw about 7 or 8 people standing around stretching in their suits, paying a man in a navy belt or, in the case of my friends, standing around chatting. I walked over to the man people were paying and said 'Errr... hi.' Lol, I'm a very outgoing person you can see ... more

    5 Stars Tang Sou Dao rules 03/12/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Gives you lots of confidence

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Be prepaired to learn

    Tang Sou Dao is the martial art i have been studing for close to 6 years. I became a first degree black belt on the 21st November 2004. When i started at 10 years old i hadn't started secondry school and i was a wreck. My school work was down, i had just moved to a new area and i had no confidence in my self at all. One of the few friends i had made told me about the martial arts rule only five miles from where i lived. We both went along and I discovered how much i liked it. I was going through the phaise of 'Mortal Kombat' so i was martial arts crazy at the time. After i had been for the ... more

    5 Stars Excellent choice 23/07/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Practical martial art, for both fitness and self-defence

    Disadvantages Disadvantages As any other modern martial art, cannot have everything !

    I am a 3rd Dan Black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and brown belt in Hapkido. I came to the UK in 1997, and ater searching for a good TKD club, I gave up. I tried many other styles, but none of them convinced me. I met Master Adam Goward in 2001, attended to the first lesson in Horsham, and really was convinced in the usefulness and quality of both the martial art and Master's Goward teaching ability. I would recommend anyone interested in martial arts in the UK to have a go in Tang Sou Dao. It is a very "practical" martial art, as it combines efficiently kicks and punches, as well as throws and grabs ... more
