Went to park outside for 2 seconds to take a phone call, at the way end and almost even in the alley, u know instead of driving on the phone. And this owner went out harrasing me not letting me taking my phone call. It wasnt that serious. I could have parked on the road yes but Its free to be nice. I have a lot of boys and nephews i will never take them here nor recommend if thats how they are over an empty lot. He showed rudeness, impatience and entitlement for nothing.

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.

Have not enjoyed myself more than learning something that will translate into the real world. The instructors do a great job of breaking down what you are doing wrong in order to get it right so you don't take the room temperature challenge in a sketchy situation.

I’ve been attending classes at the Five Rings Dojang for almost 6 months now, at first I started with Krav Maga and recently I started training in Tang Soo Do as well. Doug Mase is the lead instructor for both of these and is very knowledgeable in each of them. I’ve really enjoyed the classes and each day I leave gaining invaluable knowledge when it comes to martial arts and self defense. Another great bonus is learning from Doug’s knowledge of the historical meanings/purpose of many martial arts related traditions and concepts. If you are looking to learn a new skill or even if you are looking to enhance a skill you already know, I strongly suggest attending classes at the Five Rings Dojang.
