The Young Hong Karate Institute has been training students since founder Grandmaster Young Hong first opened his doors back in 1968. In the ensuing 40 years of continuous operation, hundreds of men, women and children have learned Master Hong's Tae Kwon Do and Karate secrets, combining the traditional arts with the latest ideas in practical self-defense, learning not only the "how" but also the "when" and the "why" behind the methods.

Today the Young Hong Karate Institute is owned and operated by Mr. Hong's hand-picked successors, Carolyn and Kurt Schulenburg. Both are 4th Degree Master Instructors and in addition to their own on-going Martial Arts studies (with belts in Tang Soo Do and Judo as well as Pro-Star MMA Certification!) have extensive backgrounds in nursing, education and business.

The Most Effective Martial Art in the world today has been proven over and over again to be the Mixed Martial Arts of such organizations as UFC and Pride. The Schulenburg Family Woodstock Mixed Martial Arts program is designed to bring our students the incredible physical benefits and skills of the Mixed Martial Arts. Grappling, Thai Boxing, Wrestling and Boxing have been added to our arsenal of karate and judo skills to create the only complete Martial Arts program available in the area. Pro-Star Mixed Martial Arts is the heart of our curriculum today - and it's awesome!

Our school doesn't end with the mastering of flying kicks or breaking bricks. Our students are shown how the discipline of these incredible physical skills are merely the path to learning self-control, respect, humility and self-confidence. We create leaders, not followers.

WOODSTOCK MIXED MARTIAL ARTS!

Master Carolyn Schulenburg has a 4th Degree Black Belt in the traditional Martial Art of Tang Soo Do. She has studied Judo and Tae Kwon Do, and is currently a Black Belt Instructor of the Mixed Martial Arts. She is an MME Certified KickBoxing Trainer. She is also a full time mom, a registered nurse and the owner of Schulenburg Family Woodstock Mixed Martial Arts - the newest and most exciting direction for the Young Hong Karate Institute!

The Young Hong Karate Institute has become the Schulenburg Family Woodstock Mixed Martial Arts, offering cutting-edge classes based on the Pro-Star Martial Arts curriculum. Our Focus is on Fun and Fitness - not Fighting, but when it comes to real world self-defense skills, the Mixed Martial Arts are the best, proven time and again in professional contests around the world.

The Woodstock Mixed Martial Arts program combines the best of the world's fighting techniques into an exciting curriculum which far surpasses traditional approaches to the martial arts. Our 40-year background in traditional Tang So Do, combined with elements of Boxing, Kickboxing, and Wrestling - along with Karate, Judo and Muay Thai Boxing - form the most effective fighting system in history. We're calling it "Martial Arts' Greatest Hits"!

More importantly, these skills are taught as last resort methods only. NonViolent Conflict Resolution is still at the heart of the program and students are taught life skills starting with each white belt beginner being shown the Most Effective Martial Arts Technique of All Time: The Friendly Handshake. Students as young as 3-year-old "Little Dragons" are shown that a firm grasp, a look into the eyes and a friendly smile will do more to solve the problems of their world than any punches or kicks.

Ours is a Family School, owned by Carolyn Schulenburg with Head Instructor Kurt Schulenburg, and our Family Values are always in the forefront of everything we do. Honesty and respect, self-discipline and control, are the hallmarks of our classes - and the way we do business!
