Why Martial Arts?
For over 35 years, numerous studies have demonstrated the profound benefits of martial arts training. Tang Soo Do, in particular, nurtures not just physical fitness but also mental clarity, emotional resilience, and spiritual well-being.
At the APTSD Foundation, we believe that martial arts is more than just a skill—it’s a life-changing tool that can empower individuals to overcome obstacles, find their purpose, and live healthier, value-driven lives.
Our Mission
The APTSD Foundation serves a wide range of people, including:
- At-Risk Youth: We provide scholarships that help children and teens develop discipline, self-esteem, and leadership skills. These programs guide them away from negative influences and toward a brighter future.
- Disadvantaged Seniors: Seniors participating in martial arts gain improved mobility, balance, and mental clarity while connecting with a supportive community.
- Individuals with Disabilities: Our adaptive training programs foster confidence, independence, and inclusivity, ensuring that martial arts is accessible to everyone.
Through partnerships with martial arts schools across the country, we provide access to the training and mentorship that can transform lives.
