About Salado Creek Martial Arts
Salado Creek Martial Arts is a family oriented martial arts studio located at 409 Salado
Plaza, Salado, Texas. Our primary focus is building character in our students through the
art of Tang Soo Do. Salado is a unique community known for its B&B’s, shopping, and
arts. The village is founded on strong family values and prides itself on its students’
athletic success. Within this, we believe that our school will instill confidence, leadership,
pride, and self-control in its students to achieve success in life. Not only will they gain
physical fitness through the workouts, but students will learn techniques for self-defense
and minimizing conflict. Tang Soo Do seeks a balance of physical with other aspects of
your life. Students are taught etiquette, respect, honor, strength, and courage. They
strive for their own growth and to overcome challenges, while viewing peers as team
mates and the school as a community interested in their well-being, development, and
success.
The martial arts are often seen as an individual sport. It is not portrayed as a team effort
where every individual helps others to achieve their maximum. In movies, it is often
represented as overly-competitive, aggressive, and confrontational. We are approaching
the martial art of Tang Soo Do with a Christian world-view. Self-discipline, respect, and
honor are parts of this. As are developing each individual to achieve a higher potential.
Built into our curriculum is instruction on getting along with others, resolving conflict,
being a leader and role model, and developing accountability to themselves, their
classmates, and instructors. Persistence in practice beyond merely learning a technique is
the spirit of disciplined martial arts study. Learning the techniques, and perfecting them.
