Discover the Difference Martial Arts Training Can Make

Mr. Tom Yennie had opened and run 3 schools during the years of 1999-2009. He thought that burnt-out set in and that he was done teaching in the beginning of 2009, but due to the help of one special student, his nephew and good friend, Shawn Yennie, he got going again. With Shawn's help and persistence, the Plainview studio was opened in Feb 2010 as Yennie Martial Arts.

Tang Soo Do is a traditional style Korean martial art that is derived from fighting arts that first appeared during the Three Kingdom times of the Korean peninsula. The art consists mostly of empty hand techniques for both defense and offense. Korean martial arts are known for their use of many kicks, some of which are jumping, spinning, or both!

I started my training at the age of 27 in 1994, in the Moo Duk Kwan style of Tae Kwon Do/ Tang Soo Do. Early in my training I knew I wanted to become an instructor. I started teaching as a 2nd Gup in 1998. In 1999 as a Cho Dan Bo, my instructor gave me one of his branch schools to take over as my own school. I started with 4 students, 3 of them my own kids. In 2000 I received my Cho Dan. After receiving my E Dan in 2002, the school I took over with 4 students had grown to over 100 students.
