Welcome to the official website of Region 4, a geographic division of the World Tang Soo Do Association which has over 600 schools worldwide! Region 4 is comprised of certified studios within the states of Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. Most of the studios are located within Texas. We encourage any new students to the region to contact our regional director to introduce yourself. If you are looking for a school within the region, you can find a list of registered studios with contact information here as well.

Tang Soo Do is a traditional Korean martial art that can be traced back over 2,000 years to the Korean peninsula. It teaches empty hand and foot fighting, fighting forms, self-defense, and weapons. Tang Soo Do also teaches people to live a healthy and harmonious life.
