A Message to New StudentsTo those of you just beginning your martial arts training with us, neither fear your new found practice, nor expect to much from it. The majority of beginners experience a feeling of inadequacy with regard to performing the movements involved. If you feel this way, don’t worry...it is common and short lived. If you expect to much in the beginning, you will disappoint yourself. Example: If you try to eat more than your stomach will hold, you will get sick. You can only digest a certain amount at a time. Every student must remember, a true martial artist is one who never gives up, has a burning desire, does his best and keeps a positive mental attitude. I am confident you can become an outstanding martial artist and that training with us will make you healthier and happier than you have ever been.

What is PaSaRyu?Translated to English, PaSaRyu means “Way of Honor” or “Break Evil Ways”. It is based on the techniques of Shudokan Karate, TaeKwonDo, Chuan Fa (Kung Fu) and Hapkido, it is a comprehensive system of martial arts.

PaSaRyu was originally developed by Master Kang Rhee in Seoul Korea, 1956. Master Rhee moved to the USA in 1964 and established the PaSaRyu Martial Artist Association.

Our PaSaRyu system places emphasis on conditioning, balance, agility, and the constant refinement of techniques. Techniques are usually taught in sets with emphasis placed on the movement being big, deep and natural. Students also practice the development of vital energy, healing techniques and the use of weapons.

SUN Martial Arts is a recognised and Certified Branch School of the International PaSaRyu Martial Artists Association operating under the direct authority of Grandmaster Kang H. Rhee, Founder and Director.

What is Hapkido?Hapkido is a powerful and specialized martial art native to Korea. Hapkido can be tranlated as “the way of coordinated power” or “the way of strength and harmony”.

The motions of Hapkido are very fluid and smooth. The techniques use body motion and mechanics rather than physical power. In addition to striking techniques, Hapkido uses primarily joint locks, pressure point attacks and throwing techniques.

The Masters of Oriental Martial Arts have studied the human body’s vital areas and pressure points for over 2000 years. The knowledge has been used for healing and also for effective self-defense. Vital areas and pressure points include exposed nerves, joints, or points on the body where organs may be easily damaged. Striking or manipulating these areas or points can cause pain, unconsciousness, or death...depending on the point, the condition of the opponant, and the skill in which the technique is delivered.

Students at SUN Martial Arts are taught the locations of these vital areas and pressure points, along with the correct self-defense technique applications.

Master Dave Pryga earned his black belt in Hapkido directly from Master JR West of the United States Korean Martial Arts Federation.




The Creed of the PaSaRyu Martial ArtistRespect Flags - Flags represent unity among people and express the spirit of liberty and peace.

Respect Instructor - Insructor is anyone you can learn from, regardless of who they are or where they come from.

Respect SUN - SUN is a unique philosophy that helps students learn how to apply their martial arts education to lead non-violent and successful lives.




PaSaRyu Philosophy A PaSaRyu Martial Artist is a person who is developing certain characteristics which make him special and unique. He is stable and dependable. He realizes he has responsibilities and duties in all areas of his life and these must be fulfilled before he can be a true PaSaRyu Martial Artist. He is committed to the philosophy of SUN and all that it means. When he comes to training class, he gives his best efforts and is consistant . He realizes the importance of regular training and he organizes his time so that regular class sessions are a part of his life. A PaSaRyu Martial Artist has enthusiasm for his art and his life. He realizes that without enthusiasm, life is dull and commonplace. He also realizes that he controls his attitude and he makes the effort to cultivate the attitude of enthusiasm. A true PaSaRyu Martial Artist glows with the sunshine of optimism. People are drawn to him because he makes people happy by his positive approach to life. He knows that no matter what his rank, whether white or black belt, he never stops learning. He never reaches the goal of perfection, but he must keep striving toward that goal. A PaSaRyu Martial Artist knows that he has an obligation to pass on his knowledge of techniques and the philosophy of SUN to others who are strivingto learn while he learns from them. He is aware that he has arrived at this level because someone cared enough to take their time and energy to help him. The PaSaRyu Martial Artist is straight forward and honest, without arrogance or hypocricy. He is proud and confident, but gentle, knowing that nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing is so gentle as real strength. The true PaSaRyu Martial Artist knows that he must have long term goals for his life. He lives today fully, but he also looks ahead and plots his future course as a ship captain lays out his plans for a sea voyage. This person has a plan which consists of a systematic, step by step approach to his major goal in life. He is sharp and balanced as he accomplishes one goal after another toward his ultimate lifelong goal - the contribution to this world which he alone can make. He devotes himself to that goal. The PaSaRyu Martial Artist has a realistic approach to life. He knows that by “chasing to many rabbits” he loses his focus and his efforts are in vain. He is self-controlled and is the master of his own destiny. He directs his life toward the area which gives him the most satisfaction and offers opportunity to contribute to society. He has a professional attitude and approaches every challenge with the determination to be the best that he can be.

A PaSaRyu Martial Artist is young, old, middle aged - a woman, man or child. He may be tall or short, physically strong or weak. He may be talented or slow learning - but whatever traits the person has, he is accepted and welcomed by his fellow members. He is expected only to give his best efforts and maintain a good attitude. He competes with no one, only himself. He is expected to know that:

There is no failure, except in giving up.
