About PKSA Karate OC
Confidence. Strength. Self Discipline. Focus.
South Orange County's premier Martial Arts School for over a decade in the Mission Viejo/ Lake Forest/ Rancho Santa Margarita area, proudly offering our families quality instruction in the art of Tang Soo Do at whatever level you are- from brand new beginners with no experience to advanced black belt levels. We strive to take martial arts back to its roots in tradition, passing down to the next generation tried and true techniques that work, and strengthening ourselves physically, mentally and emotionally.
Martial arts give you the tool to stay calm and focused while standing in the midst of the storms of life. It is this preparation that allows you to make the best decisions in stressful situations, and to defend yourself when needed.
We are a family school, many of our students train together with their siblings, or their parents! Training together toward a common goal helps students create deeper bonds with their family members, and as an added bonus lifelong friendships are also often formed along the way!
