Services
All of our instructors, from our Sa Bom's ( Master instructors) to Kyo-Sa's (Instructor) and to our Jo-Kyo's (assistant instructors) are fully certified with the U.S. Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation. Our studio was founded in 1986 and has been fully certified also from it's beginning and is reviewed yearly.
Our Tiny Tigers program is unsurpassed. The focus is to instill in small children with the skills needed to help develop hand eye coordination, follow directions, balance, safety skills, concentration, respect and discipline in a fun action packed environment. Our Children's class is focused on developing physical fitness, self-defense and safety skills.
Our son Cameron has learned so much in the past 4 years with Lemners. Starting with the Tiny Tigers and now Gup level, he has gained so much discipline and perseverance needed to achieve his goals. He has applied this knowledge in his social life and at school. We thank Lemners for their endless dedication to these children's lives.

My son has been at Lemner 's for almost a year now. What I love the most about Lemner's is that the members are taught discipline and respect and that they should apply it in all areas of their lives. My son continues to improve in those areas because of Soo Bahk. It is so much more to him than martial arts.

I trained here during junior high and high school. As and adult, we starting looking for something to help improve our son's focus. I knew that Lemner's could help and also build his self confidence. He's been training for 8 years now. I have also rejoined the studio, another son is training, and the next one is wanting to join too when he's ready.

I learned about Lemner's Soo Bahk Do From living in the area , wanting to have my son learn to protect him self. Watching and seeing the love and passion of the art with the instructors I knew that I wanted to join my self.
The more I attended I started seeing the bond of family members and studio members become as one. A great place to learn and great people to call friends

Lemners Soo Bahk Do is not just a studio or class, it is a motivational, community-minded, self actualization, positive thinking, disciplined, family oriented, empowering and life-enhancing environment. Every time I go here to watch my son, who has grown tremendously and positively, I enjoy the class. This studio teaches you to succeed, and nurtures the mind, body & spirit.

My son and Husband both currently are members at Lemners Soo Bahk Do. We love the Studio, Instructors and the Families involved there. My son is learning to take constructive criticism not only from adults but also from his peers. It's a great outlet for my Husband after a long days at work. We love the extra clinics that are offered. It's not just the members learning from the Instructors, I learn something new just from watching the classes. Soo Bahk Do isn't just a Martial Art it's a life style.

I enrolled my son at Lemner's 15 years ago for discipline and confidence. Shortly after, I began training during a free Mother's Day class and have been hooked ever since. I, my husband, and children not only gain the self defense needed in today's world, but also the true, life values of a martial art.

We signed our son up at Lemners Soo Bahk Do about a year ago. He absolutely loves it! The instructors are great at what they do. They go above and beyond to teach the traditions and techniques of Soo Bahk Do. I enjoyed watching my son's class so much that I joined and have been a member for about 8 months. Your never too old! Soo Bahk!!

It is wonderful to have a place here in town where our boys can learn not only self-defense but also develop their self-confidence. The instructors are really great! My husband and I are very pleased knowing that we have people helping us teach respect, perseverance, discipline and humility to our boys. And both our boys are always happy to come and train everyday!
