The Charland Institute of Karate proudly serving Greater Watertown Area since 1988

Since we’ve opened in March of 1992 (previous 4 years Master Charland taught via Parks & Rec), we’ve been dedicated to changing the lives of people one person at a time, through martial arts, education and coaching. We strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming atmosphere for all students and family members. We take pride in creating an environment for individuals to achieve, develop and succeed in their personal goals.

We strongly believe that Tang Soo Do can be for everyone, regardless of age, gender or experience levels. Throughout all of our programs, students will not only learn the necessary skill sets to protect themselves, we stand behind our realistic and practical approach, confident it will enable every member to achieve greatness and live their best life..

And Finally, our Staff of Instructors are second to none. This highly dedicated group of white belts who never did quit are here because they love the beautiful art of Tang Soo Do. They love to share their knowledge, their passion and their values with students of all ages and backgrounds.
