About Us
At Shield of Faith Schools we blend martial arts with Biblical principles. Our unique style, Cha Yun-do, is based on natural movements of the body, in an easy, flowing manner without rigidness or stiffness. Cha Yun-do is an ‘integrated’ system using defensive techniques followed by counterattacking techniques when necessary. Cha Yun-do was developed by Dr. Randolph Young.
At Shield Of Faith Karate Schools, we are dedicated to fostering physical strength, spiritual growth, and self-discipline through the discipline of Cha Yun-Do, rooted in biblical principles. Join us to develop your body, mind, and spirit in a community of martial artists devoted to following Jesus. Our Cha Yun-Do discipline uniquely blends the physical rigor of martial arts with the spiritual depth of biblical principles, fostering self-discipline, respect, and a strong moral compass in our students.
