Are you the owner of Master Dosoo Tae Kwon Do Academy?
Welcome to the Master Dosoo Tae Kwon Do Academy, a premier Tae Kwon Do school located in Edinburgh, Scotland. Our academy is dedicated to providing exceptional Tae Kwon Do classes for children, youths, and adults in the area. Led by the renowned Grand Master Dosoo, a 9th degree black belt, each lesson is physically demanding, with a strong emphasis on learning techniques properly and developing fitness, flexibility, and agility.
At the Master Dosoo Tae Kwon Do Academy, we take pride in our commitment to the art of Tae Kwon Do. Our founder, Grand Master Dosoo, has recently been awarded an 8th degree black belt by the esteemed founder of Taekwon-do, Gen Choi Hong Hi, making him one of the privileged masters to receive this honour. We are passionate about providing a place for people of all ages to learn and excel in the martial art of Tae Kwon Do.
Tae Kwon Do is a modern martial art that was founded by General Choi Hong Hi of Korea in 1955. The word "Tae” denotes the foot, which signifies kicking or smashing with the foot. "Kwon” denotes the fist, mainly used for punching or destroying with the hand or fist. “Do” means an art or way, representing the right path built and paved by the Saints and Sages through the ages.
Our classes focus on essential techniques that promote accurate power focusing, including breaking techniques. Students have the opportunity to learn and perform incredible feats, such as flying over high obstacles, breaking boards placed at considerable heights, and smashing bricks with open hands or knife-hands. These impressive techniques may seem impossible to the uninitiated, but they become regular occurrences for serious students and top exponents of Tae Kwon Do.
The techniques of Tae Kwon Do are based on the principles of modern science and military tactics of attack and defence. Students learn how to generate maximum power with a minimum amount of energy, increasing their self-confidence and ability to face any opponent in any situation. Sparring teaches humility, accuracy, and self-control, while patterns or “Tul” help develop precision, balance, and coordination through a logical sequence of movements against imaginary opponents.
The philosophy of Tae Kwon Do is rooted in moral and spiritual growth. Proper training at our academy enables practitioners to find peace amid chaos within themselves. We believe that every conscious and subconscious action of a true practitioner should reflect the values and principles instilled through Tae Kwon Do.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, our Edinburgh Tae Kwon Do classes cater to all levels. Each class is designed to improve stamina, strength, and oxygen intake, allowing students to quickly absorb necessary self-defence skills. As you progress, you will have the opportunity to participate in specialist classes focused on sparring, bag work, and kicking development.
