About

Kwon's Blackbelt Academy has taught Tae Kwon Do and Tang Soo Do in Chula Vista since 1977 under eighth-degree black belt Grand Master Kwon, who founded the Pilsung Martial Arts Association in 2009. The "Certain Victory" philosophy behind Pilsung Moo Do has produced national and international champions across the organization's competitive circuit, with post-training recovery supported by the acupuncture and soft-tissue modalities at Urban Sage Acupuncture & Wellness. The Tierra Del Rey facility hosts separate kids, teen, and adult programs alongside after-school sessions and seasonal camps that emphasize the traditional Korean tenets of respect, self-discipline, and perseverance. Curriculum integrates both Tae Kwon Do striking and Tang Soo Do forms—combining linear kicks, spinning techniques, and classical hyung patterns into a dual-discipline program rare among South Bay dojangs. Supplemental strength-and-conditioning blocks target the explosive hip rotation and single-leg balance required for advanced head-height roundhouse kicks and jump-spinning back kicks, a power-development track that parallels the athletic programming at GreenSpeed Training Facility. Black-belt candidates progress through board-breaking evaluations at one-inch pine thickness before advancing to concrete-block breaks at the master level.
