What is TNT?

TNT is an acronym, standing for "Taekwondo 'n' Thai boxing". After decades of hard training and research, Master Sang created this system of martial arts training for people who want the best of both systems for total fitness.

Taekwondo is known for high kicks and excellent footwork. Thai boxing has devastating low kicks, strong knee & elbow strikes, and good boxing techniques. As a system of stand-up fighting the two of them make a perfect combination, addressing every range of fighting and the full gamut of striking techniques.

In addition to the fighting techniques, TNT brings in stretching methods and conditioning drills from both arts, giving the participant notable improvement in the following areas:

* Muscular strength and tone

* Greater flexibility

*Hand-eye coordination

* Longer endurance

* Improved balance and agility

*Better overall fitness levels

* Improved self-confidence

TNT, just like its namesake, is predicated on creating "explosive change". For TNT students or private clients, it gives them a means to bring about a radical change in their body, their fitness level, and in their mental state.

TNT reaches the mind and spirit through training the body. In ancient times, monks would train their bodies quite rigorously to achieve enlightenment, but things are different in the modern world. These days, everyone wants a good workout, but not just any good workout.

UNIVERSAL APPEAL IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT
Unlike other formalized martial arts disciplines, TNT has no uniforms, no belts, no ranking structures, and no restrictions. It is not bound to any particular race, creed, or color. There is no sparring, and therefore almost no risk of injury. It's perfect for an actor, a model, a CEO, a mother, or anyone who doesn't want to scare people with a black eye, a busted lip, or huge bruises. The emphasis is on fun and fitness while still building skill sets that can serve someone in self-defense situations.

The TNT workout is one that pushes you hard enough that you feel like you were just concentrating effortlessly, "in the zone" so to speak. That "zone" is where your head is clear of all the negative or doubtful thoughts that litter your mind and cause stress. That is why a CEO can come in to a TNT training session after a brutal day at the office looking tired, weak, and beaten-down, yet feel so pumped-up and stress-free when he or she leaves.

Yet for those purists who pursue combat sports and martial arts sparring competitions, TNT is still highly relevant to their training. The constant striking and moving is key to understanding how to deal with a live opponent. Instead of hitting and kicking a stationary bag and developing bad habits as far as footwork, TNT training is like working with a moving fight trainer, but using combinations that are proven to be effective in the ring. This type of training gives fighters a way to continue training on days when they aren't sparring or fighting without risk of injury. It's a tremendous asset to their training regimens.

Master Sang explains, "TNT goes across a lot of different borders because of its universal appeal. Its message of cooperation is woven in with the goals of fun, fitness, and personal change. That makes it attractive to a very wide audience. I strongly believe that TNT is the best tool for martial arts schools to reach out to grab a wider audience in the general public and the local community. This system is already exploding in Florida, and I'm surprised how many people are making it part of their lives and how many gyms are putting it in their programs. As the baby-boomer generation ages and their children are nearing middle age, this training method is the solution to their fitness problems."
