WHY THE
DRAGON GYM SYSTEM IS FOR YOU
Grand Master Goh has over 50
years of teaching and training experience in the Ancient Martial Arts of Tae
Kwon Do, Hapkido and various other Art Forms. Master Goh has developed a
system that is exclusively taught at the Dragon Gym, which uniquely blends
the best of the ancient Martial Arts: Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido. This system
is indeed a modem application of the ancient and traditional Martial Arts.
The
system is founded on two major principles first—UM and YANG and second KI or
Internal Spirit, which incorporates the development of weaponless defense
techniques that have the effect of transforming the practitioners hands and
feet into weapons so that in the event of a situation demanding defense
action he or she is victorious over the aggressor.
The
system is also a philosophy of mental discipline and self control which will
influence the student’s behavior and therefore encourage participation and
pride in their community. In this way the Art is used for the betterment of
society.
