Welcome to Moonlit Path Martial Arts, a traditional martial arts school where we focus on enriching a student's mind, body, and spirit. We teach Korean Tang Soo Do Mi Guk Kwan and Chon-Tu Kwon (Combat) Hapkido in Branford, Connecticut.
Tang Soo Do, translated as "the way of the empty hand, " is a martial art comprised of a combination of Chinese and Korean fighting arts with a heavy Japanese / Okinawan influence from the nearly 50 years of Japanese occupation of Korea in the 20th century.Tang Soo Do uses linear and circular striking and joint manipulation techniques with a constant flow between them using universal energy or "Ki."

It is with great pleasure that we share the announcement that Sid Werthan was promoted to fifth dan and granted the title of Master Instructor in the International Combat Hapkido Federation (ICHF). He was honored at the organization's 25th anniversary celebration in Chicago in late September.
