Carters Martial Arts Academy Proud member of SMAA and USKMAF Happiness exist when what you do and what you believe are the same.   What do we teach? At the school in Scottsville, Kentucky we teach classes in Chung Do Kwan Tae Kwon Do , Moo Sool Kwan Hap Ki Do and Goshin Jujitsu In addition to these three arts, the students will learn aspects of other arts. The ideal goal of the instructors at the school is to make the student a complete martial artist that can handle his/her self in any given situation. We are not a tournament or sport minded school, although we may go to one or two a year. Pressure point applications are heavily emphasized in all style's taught at the school. Our mission and teaching philosophy. To put into a few words what our complete teaching mission and philosophy would be very hard. All of the instructors here have a teaching philosophy all their own, and no two are exactly alike. This is what makes our school so different than most "belt factory" schools. To try to make each and every student that comes through the door a warrior and a caring person is the overall goal. Disciplined lifestyle and a no holds barred approach to self defense is a key to our mission. The students that are in school have to bring in grade reports to stay in the class, those needing help in certain areas can ask for help, we will always be there for them. We all come from different backgrounds, why try to act like we are all the same. Individuality is something we should strive for and hold true to our heart.   The mighty ocean has but one taste, The taste of salt. Even so, the true way has But one savor, The savor of freedom.    - Majjhima Nikaya
