It's not about the size or strength, but attitude and skill. Asia Houston Network and Grandmaster Kim Soo of Kim Soo Karate will host again Mind, Body & Spirit, a free women's self-defense seminar and demonstration. Participants will learn how to use leverage, momentum and vital pressure points against an attacker and how to employ practical, easy-to-learn blocks, strikes and throws.


What is Chayon-Ryu?
Chayon-Ryu (Korean for "Natural Way") teaches natural body motion as the basis of all techniques in order to promote power, safety, health and fitness. From this system, one becomes self-confident and gains self-esteem. With these components, one is able to fight the everyday enemies, which are internal such as stress, worry, insecurity, jealousy, impatience, defeat and depression.


Grandmaster Kim Soo
