The purpose of TKA is to form individuals who are physically and mentally progressive and productive, and who are aware of the physical, mental, and moral obligations to themselves and others.  The ultimate goal of TKA lies in neither victory nor defeat, but in the perfection of the character of the participants.

These character traits are the tenets of all martial art disciplines and are the essence of The Way:

COURTESY
HUMILITY
INTEGRITY
PERSEVERANCE
SELF-CONTROL
INDOMITABLE SPIRIT

The TKA system blends traditional Tae Kwon Do, Karate-Do, and Aikido into a balanced art designed to condition the student both physically and mentally.  The strategy incorporates hard and soft styles in both offensive and defensive movements, the Japanese art of Karate, the “Ki” power of Aikido, and the grace and fluidity of the throwing movements founded in the ancient Martial Art techniques.

Chang's School of Martial Arts is the only school authorized by Grand Master Soon-Ho Chang to teach the TKA System.

Judo
The Gentle Way

Judo was founded by Professor Jigoro Kano in February 1882, and three months later the Kodokan (the international headquarters of Judo) was established in Japan.  This makes Judo one of the world’s first organized martial arts.  Judo is based on a single, all-pervasive underlying principle: to make the most efficient use of energy.

Judo employs a combination of throwing techniques (Nage-waza) and grappling techniques (Katame-waza), and emphasizes the three elements of an efficient judo technique:

• Kuzushi – off-balancing the opponent

• Tsukuri – setting-up of the opponent and oneself to apply the technique

• Kake – execution of the technique

Ninja Fu Ninja-Fu is a unique distillation of techniques from many Martial Arts disciplines including Karate, Judo, Ninjitsu, Kung-Fu, and weapons training.  It was created by Grand Master Soon-Ho Chang and the first class was taught in late 1985.   Ninja-Fu is designed specifically to answer the needs of modern society.  The various techniques taught are selected to provide well-rounded training for both physical and mental development.  Additionally, the techniques are taught in a traditional style so that the student may learn the self-discipline and dedication that traditional Martial Arts provide.  All Ninja-Fu students are personally selected by Grand Master Chang, based on a combination of physical and personality traits. “Evil knows your fears and weakness and will invade you at last.  Therefore is Ninja Fu.” Grand Master Soon-Ho Chang Founder of Ninja Fu Click here to visit the official Ninja Fu website
