Asheville Sun Soo Martial Arts is the place for you. We offer so much more than a family activity or a fun thing to do in Asheville.
Transformational Personal Development: Focus, Balance, Awareness, Confidence, Connection and Skill
We strive to develop the whole person in every class – challenging the mind with a call to presence, focus and attention to detail, building the body with rigor, capacity and skill – and lifting the spirit with inspiration in an atmosphere that builds the highest character. We even offer classes in which your entire family can practice together.
All of our classes are led by expertly-trained, exceptionally-skilled, and highly-educated, internationally certified, adult instructors. Our full-time professional instructors are inspiring members of our local community and enthusiastically maintain a practice themselves through multiple classes per week – as examples to our students – constantly striving for higher levels in all areas of our lives.
Traditional Tae Kwon Do (Korean Karate) & Jiu Jitsu
We promote and operate with the highest levels of professionalism, quality and excellence in every domain. The primary martial art we teach is Traditional Tae Kwon Do (Korean Karate), led by 7th Degree Master Tony Morris, which we complement with additional concepts from Hapkido, Jiujitsu, Judo, Aikido, Boxing, Kung-Fu and Qi-gong. Parallel to our Traditional Tae Kwon Do curriculum, we offer a full curriculum to both kids and adults in Danzan-Ryu Jiujitsu, led by 5th Degree Professor Thabiti Sabahive.

What Sets Sun Soo Martial Arts Apart…
“We have students practicing with us from all parts of the area – North, South, East and West Asheville, many families passing several other martial arts schools to receive instruction at Asheville Sun Soo. We have a thriving adult membership as well as children and teens. Entire families practice here on a regular basis.”
“An exceptional number of our school-age students excel in school. In fact, the majority of these students who have practiced with us for greater than two years have become straight-A students. Many were not operating at that level in school when they initially began their martial arts practice with us here at Asheville Sun Soo. We also are not doing school work here. What we are doing however, is practicing focusing, being disciplined, setting goals and following through to achieve them — and all with attention to detail and an aspiration for excellence. Those qualities applied to school and everywhere else creates great results.”
“Some parents come to us looking for things to do or activities for their toddlers or children. Once they learn about Sun Soo, they find the instruction and the environment here is so much more than just another activity. We build character, achievement, confidence, respect, focus, awareness, break-through, possibilities and much, much, more. Practice at Asheville Sun Soo becomes a practice of healthy behaviors and habits that empower our students to create for themselves accomplishment and success. ”
