Since 1997, the Academy of Korean Martial Arts has brought the Brookhaven community the very best in martial arts instruction. Founded on the principles of teaching excellence, personal attention, and tradition, we provide each student with the most complete and effective methods to reach his/her full potential.
Our Martial Art Style
July 1, 2007, the martial art of TeukGong MooSool was added to the course of study for qualified students at Academy of Korean Martial Arts.
For years, Master Kincade had been searching for a curriculum for himself and his students that would offer the most practical and effective martial art techniques possible, while being safe, well organized, and internationally supported.
Master Kincade’s values dictated that the course of study offered must be well-structured and highly efficient in order for his students to be equipped to respond as rapidly as possible to difficult situations that may arise. Just as important to him was that the program offered would work not only for physical self-defense, but would also have the necessary elements to build character, confidence, self-discipline, and all the other benefits that make martial arts training unlike any other activity.
Master Kincade has great respect for the martial arts he has studied as well as most martial arts, However, most take a long time to master, have many techniques that are not practical, and many times bow to tradition instead of functionality.
In today’s world, we have many threats to our minds and bodies. Most of our young people are bombarded with negative influences and peer pressure, and many are seriously searching for the confidence and high character that seems to be missing in many of our leaders.
We at Academy of Korean Martial Arts believe that strength of mind, body, and spirit build the character needed to make good decisions. True freedom of choice only comes through confidence, and TeukGong MooSool training offers a way to develop all of these strengths.
Over Two Decades of Teaching Excellence
At Academy of Korean Martial Arts, all instructors and assistant instructors are personally selected for not only their skill and achievements in martial arts but also their ability to effectively relate that knowledge and understanding to students of all age levels and backgrounds. Therefore, our instructors and assistant instructors continuously undergo advanced training in martial arts and are kept abreast of the latest teaching methods and human development. Our instructors and school earned the award for “Excellent Gym for the Year 2010” from the International TeukGong MooSool Federation in Seoul, Korea.
Programs Designed With You In Mind
At Academy of Korean Martial Arts, we are interested not only in self-defense skills, but also in the complete development of each student. Individual attention is a feature of each and every class . Our instructors and assistant instructors take seriously their responsibility as role models for younger students, teaching them the importance of strong character, leadership, and good values.
A Modern Approach To Self-Defense
Although our techniques are based on centuries-old knowledge, it is our application of that knowledge that sets Academy of Korean Martial Arts apart from other schools and TeukGong MooSool apart from other martial arts. We realize that each student possesses different physical abilities. Size and strength varies with each individual so once you have acquired a strong foundation in the basics, our program will enhance your personal physical capabilities and maximize your self-defense skills. You will understand exactly what it takes - mentally and physically - to defend yourself or your loved ones should the need ever arise.
Personal Development
At Academy of Korean Martial Arts, our carefully structured programs go a lot further than just punching and kicking. As professional martial arts instructors, we feel that it is our duty not only to help our students develop self-defense skills, but also provide a complete program of personal development to enhance the students’ quality of life.
