About Our School
Family owned. Family run. Built for every person who walks through the door.
당수도 Who we are
A home for anyone in Milton looking for martial arts
We teach traditional martial arts in a safe, genuinely fun way. You or your children can start here knowing this won't be a place that stresses you out.
Alongside cost-friendly options, our culture is one of openness, honesty and support. There are no cliques and no rigid social rules in our school. We adapt to any physical ability or mental limitation, because everyone is capable of training. Every student is met exactly where they are and shown they aren't a number or a paycheck — they're a person who can carry martial arts training into every corner of their life.
We emphasize one-on-one attention and real relationships so each student's individuality is supported. Students are constantly encouraged to succeed in everything they do — that's why we hand out academic achievement patches right alongside belt promotions.
Family owned and operated. — Shawn, Marianne and Abigail.

당수도 More than class nights
Culture, community and positivity
As a family-owned and operated business, culture and community are always at the top of our minds. We host school-wide events all year - holiday parties, tournaments, and Family and Friend Night - to bring everyone closer together.
Our Milton martial arts community is a place where everyone trains and shines together. Belts get tied in the dojang; friendships get made everywhere else.
Everyone in the area looking for martial arts should be able to find a home here. We look forward to seeing you on the mats, and we can't wait to watch you grow.

Five stars, over and over
Don't take our word for it. Here's what Milton parents and students say after training with us!
Such a phenomenal place to be a part of ! From pee wee’s to Black Belts/ line drills and hyungs/ to our fun and creative games. We all work together to gain knowledge, confidence, and friendship! A great place for sharing and inspiring! TSD!
I’ve been going here for about 8 months now and it’s fantastic! Great people and great training! Good for kids, adults, teens, etc. - all ages. I’ve been doing martial arts for almost 30 years and this is one of the good ones! Great mix of tradition, discipline, techniques, drills, and practical application.
If you're looking for a karate studio, this place is highly recommended. The instructors here are exceptional, great at teaching both kids and adults. It's an excellent spot to learn self-defense, boost your confidence, and improve your self-esteem. Plus, it's a good workout and can turn into a fantastic family activity. Master Burns and Mrs. Burns started training after their daughter, Ms. Burns, began her lessons. Now they all teach together.
Granite State Tang Soo Do is an outstanding martial arts school with a phenomenal instructor and an amazing team of black belts. They create a welcoming environment while teaching discipline, respect, confidence, and valuable self-defense skills. If you’re looking to get in shape, build character, and learn from experienced instructors, this is the place to be. I highly recommend Granite State Tang Soo Do to anyone, regardless of age or experience!
My daughter loves going to class every weekend. Master Burns is great with the kids and they learn very fast. Strongly recommend to anyone with a child interested in martial arts.
Mr. Burns is awesome! My 6 year old goes and loves it. He is having such a good time and learning self control. I will likely start soon myself!
My daughter goes here and we couldn't be happier! She is learning a ton, creating a new sense of self and confidence and the people are amazing.
My sons and I very much enjoy our classes as a family. It's great exercise and a lot of fun while learning valuable life skills. Affordable and a great value.
This Karate studio has given my son the confidence and self esteem booster in self defense. He has been involved for many years and has gained such respect for the art of Tang Soo Do that he's loves it! Instructor is professional and great! Very affordable! Best class around!
