About Us

Clairday's Karate Studios

The Priceville location offers traditional martial arts, weapons, and grappling training. Our traditional martial arts training style is a blend of Tang Soo Do and Tae Kwon Do; both finding its roots in Korea. Tang Soo Do is comprised of 60% Korean martial arts philosophy, 30% Northern Chinese, and 10% Southern Chinese philosophies. This results in a blending of a hard-style martial arts (Korean) and a soft-style martial arts (Chinese). Tae Kwon Do or "the way of the hand and foot" is the art of kicking and punching. With Master Clairday having 30 years training in the martial arts, students are often exposed to other sytles of training and philosophy outside of their traditional base. Beyond conditioning, training includes a focus on kicking, punching, katas, and sparring. People of ages 3 and up can train in classes designed for their age and rank level or participate in family oriented classes. Our main goal is for our students to have fun while developing their martial arts skills.
