About Kang Do

"Kang Do, " when translated, means "inner strength way." This traditional martial art, created by Grand Master Richard J. Lewis, the founder of Kang Do Won, emphasizes the importance of inner strength as the most crucial aspect of martial arts training. At Kang Do Won, we believe that inner strength is composed of self-esteem, self-confidence, self-respect, discipline, determination, honor, and courage. Our traditions inspire these qualities, fostering a way of life that nurtures and develops the true potential of each individual.
