More About Us
What is Tang Soo Do?
Tang Soo Do is a traditional Korean martial art combining self-defence, fitness, discipline and personal development. While our clubs are friendly and welcoming, we take pride in maintaining the traditions and values of the art within our training.
As members of the World Tang Soo Do Association, our training is centred around three key aims:
Self-Defence: To develop the skills and confidence to protect ourselves and others.
Health: To develop strong bodies and sound minds through regular, challenging training.
Better Person:To continually improve our character through discipline, endurance and hard work.
Part of a Worldwide Association
Stanground and Hampton Tang Soo Do are proud members of Great Britain Tang Soo Do and are affiliated with the World Tang Soo Do Association (WTSDA), connecting our students with Tang Soo Do practitioners across Great Britain and around the world. Great Britain Tang Soo Do is led by Grandmaster Khan, 8th Dan who is also Master Shazan’s instructor.
Being part of the wider association gives our students opportunities beyond their regular club training, including gradings, clinics, seminars and competitions at regional, national and international level.

Our Story
Stanground Tang Soo Do
Stanground Tang Soo Do was established in 2018 by Master Shazan Amin.
Since those first classes, Stanground has developed into a strong community of students, instructors and families, welcoming everyone from complete beginners to experienced black belts and international competitors.
While the club has achieved success at regional, national and international level, Stanground has always been about much more than competition. It is a place to train, learn, challenge yourself and enjoy being part of a supportive Tang Soo Do community.
Hampton Tang Soo Do
In September 2026, our story continues with the opening of Hampton Tang Soo Do, founded by Master Shazan Amin as Stanground's sister club. Hampton brings the same standard of Tang Soo Do training, values and opportunities to another part of Peterborough, while creating a new club and community of its own.
Together, Stanground and Hampton give our students more opportunities to train, learn and experience everything Tang Soo Do has to offer.
Two Clubs. One Family.
