Five Rings Dojang - Martial Arts Academy

Apr 2024

I would consider this one of the finest traditional school in San Angelo. Sifu Mase considers his students self-defense training, understanding, and ability to execute maneuvers seriously. Sifu Mase imparts his knowledge of the martial arts, use of force ethics and legalities, physical fitness, and mental well being through stories, exercises, and skills training. Tang Soo Do and Krav Maga are taught with a sprinkling of methods, ideas, and movements from many other art forms. Sifu Mase is the embodiment of a martial artist. He lives, breathes, and thinks in martial arts. I highly recommend you pay Sifu Mase a visit and Check out his blog!

Initially i was seeking a short term program for my son and ended up as a student. I have been to many martial arts schools as a parent over the years and this place is definitely unique. Beyond the excellent value and absolute wealth of knowledge, passion and experience the instructor has, his ability to explain the body physics and dynamics of different real life scenarios as well as what your mind should be doing is invaluable. He also encourages decisiveness and self-confidence with his methods and i strongly recommend this program for anyone who needs help becoming empowered as an individual.

Highly recommend. I wanted to take Krav Maga so that I could protect my son and myself if we were in harms path. From day one I started learning legitimate ways to defend myself. Master Mase’s deep passion and expansive knowledge on martial arts as a whole drove my interest for signing up for Tang Soo Do as well. My experience thus far has been nothing short of life altering. It has given me a stronger sense of self, confidence and independence.
