Boston Classical Soo Bahk Do was founded by PJ Steyer on September 22nd, 2001. Not just any martial arts school, BCSBD is a certified Moo Duk Kwan studio whose mission is to work towards human development and peace on personal, community, and worldwide levels.

On the personal level, we follow the philosopy of "Neh Kang Weh Yu," Strong Inside, Gentle Outside. We train in an atmosphere of strong discipline so that we may best learn to understand and control in ourselves the serious power of our art and our minds. We stress self DEFENSE, not offense, and we are not competition-focused, (although we do offer the opportunity to participate in such events).

On a community level, Boston Classical Soo Bahk Do is committed to social action, specifically the reduction and prevention of violence, and the promotion of inter-cultural awareness. Our aim is to help men, women, children, and people with special needs of all ages and ability levels to grow and develop in a positive manner, as is stated in the Soo Bahk Do Student Creed.

   

The Student Creed

I intend to develop myself in a positive manner, and to avoid anything that would reduce my mental growth or physical health.

I intend to develop my self-discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and others.

I intend to use what I learn in class constructively and defensively, to help myself and my fellow man, and never to be abusive or offensive.

Worldwide, as a part of the Moo Duk Kwan, we are directly involved in "Mission 2000," our international effort towards World Peace by improving human relations through the practice of Soo Bahk Do.



At Boston Classical Soo Bahk Do, all students learn at their own pace. Your Soo Bahk Do training will be enjoyable, but also challenging. As such, we believe in hard work over time in order to gain real results that are applicable in all arenas of one's life.

Because BCSBD is a Moo Duk Kwan school, all students will be recognized at their level at any of the hundreds of Moo Duk Kwan schools worldwide. Our class has a carefully prepared and closely monitored curriculum and training requirements, all of which are standardized worldwide by some of the world's best martial artists, and all of which are under continual development.
