Close Quarters Combat Tae Kwon Do

Our Close Quarters Combat Taekwondo system was created by Master Eddie Urbistondo (Head of School).  It was created using his knowledge of Traditional Taekwondo (from earlier TKD 1950’s through 70’s) and principles of Southern Praying Mantis Kung Fu.  Traditional Taekwondo specializes on long and mid range fighting.  Master Urbistondo made this sub-system to add close range fighting using traditional Taekwondo techniques.
