My now six year old has been coming here since he was 4. He is enrolled in the Tang Soo Do program. He loves coming here without hesitation for his classes. He enjoys the atmosphere with his classmates. We are thankful for the dedication, commitment, and discipline Master Neal teaches. Best in town!

My five year old son has been going to the martial arts program (Tang Soo Do) since 2020 and he loves it. He was very hesitant during the first few weeks of the program but Master Neal did a great job making him feel comfortable during that adjustment period. Master Neal is very patient and shares his knowledge with students so they understand the discipline and all the forms of Tang Soo Do. He challenges students and helps build their confidence. Classes are one hour long and meet twice a week.

I wholeheartedly recommend Master Neal as a Martial Arts instructor. I have been studying under his guidance for the past two years and have seen firsthand the dedication and expertise he brings to class each day. His knowledge of martial arts is extensive and he teaches multiple styles. While studying Tang Soo Do under him I have also benefited from his expertise in Tai Chi, Kung Fu and Kick Boxing among other disciplines. He can clearly and effectively teach multiple complex techniques with patience and attention to detail. I believe anyone with an interest in the Martial Arts would benefit from Master Neal’s instruction.

About
My name is Alexa Young
In my world, everything is interconnected, working together to form a foundation of awareness. Whether it’s martial arts, music, dance, or even math, every discipline is a piece of a larger whole, and no part exists in isolation. This principle guides my teaching, where I emphasize that movement, intention, and expression are linked to uncover the deeper person within.
​
The study of martial arts, like Tang Soo Do, is not just about combat; it’s about developing the self—physically, mentally, and spiritually. It's the same with music, dance, or even body conditioning; all of these are expressions of harmony, requiring rhythm, precision, and awareness. Just as martial arts cultivates mental discipline and physical control, music and dance teach us about timing, flow, and the connection between mind and body. Even mathematics, with its logical structures, has parallels in the way martial arts techniques are learned, repeated, and perfected—each reinforcing the other.
​
This holistic approach is the foundation of what I teach. Everything is part of everything else. The intellect, body, emotions, and spirit are inseparable, and through the study of multiple disciplines, we can achieve a more integrated and aware self. This interconnectedness leads to personal growth and balance, allowing us to navigate both the internal and external worlds with purpose, integrity, and strength.
