The Young Hong Karate Institute has been training students since founder Grandmaster Young Hong first opened his doors back in 1968. In the nearly 40 years of continuous operation, hundreds of men, women and children have learned Master Hong's Tae Kwon Do and Karate secrets, combining the traditional arts with the latest ideas in practical self-defense, learning not only the "how" but also the "when" and the "why" behind the methods.
Today the Young Hong Karate Institute is owned and operated by Mr. Hong's hand-picked successors, Carolyn and Kurt Schulenburg. The Schulenburgs are both 4th Degree Master Instructors and in addition to their own on-going Martial Arts studies (with belts in Tang Soo Do and Judo as well as Pro-Star Mixed Martial Arts Certification!) have extensive backgrounds in nursing, education and business.
The Most Effective Martial Art in the world today has been proven over and over again to be the Mixed Martial Arts of such organizations as UFC and Pride. The Schulenburgs have created the Schulenburg Family Woodstock Mixed Martial Art program to bring our students the incredible physical benefits and skills of the Mixed Martial Arts. Grappling, Thai Boxing, Wrestling and Boxing have been added to our arsenal of karate and judo skills to create the only complete Martial Arts program available in the area. Pro-Star Mixed Martial Arts is the heart of our curriculum today - and it's awesome!
Our school doesn't end with the mastering of flying kicks or breaking bricks. Our students are shown how the discipline of these incredible physical skills are merely the path to learning self-control, respect, humility and self-confidence. We create leaders, not followers.

The Schulenburg Family
WOODSTOCK MIXED MARTIAL ARTS!
The Young Hong Karate Institute is now known as the Schulenburg Family Woodstock Mixed Martial Arts, offering cutting-edge classes based on the Pro-Star Martial Arts curriculum. We mix our traditional Tang Soo Do skills with kick-boxing, Muay Thai and grappling to produce a well-rounded student, one who is well-versed in all aspects of self-defense.
The Woodstock Mixed Martial Arts program combines the best of the world's fighting techniques into an exciting curriculum which far surpasses traditional approaches to the martial arts. Elements of Boxing, Kickboxing, and Wrestling combine with Karate, Judo and Muay Thai Boxing to form the most effective fighting system in history. We're calling it "Martial Arts' Greatest Hits"!
More importantly, these skills are taught as last resort methods only. NonViolent Conflict Resolution is still at the heart of the program and students are taught life skills starting with each white belt beginner being shown the Most Effective Martial Arts Technique of All Time: The Friendly Handshake. Students as young as 3-year-old "Little Dragons" are shown that a firm grasp, a look into the eyes and a friendly smile will do more to solve the problems of their world than any punches or kicks.
We specialize in teaching familes, offering classes that fit YOUR busy schedules, allowing Mom and Dad to work out with the kids. We have TWO adjoining workout areas where different size/ability students can work out simultaneously!
