Grandmaster Cheezic
is founder and President of Cheezic Tang Soo Do. While stationed in the U.S. Air Force in Korea in 1959, he earned black belt #2278 in Moo Duk Kwan Tang Soo Do from the style's founder, Hwang Kee. After returning to the United States, Grandmaster Cheezic began to share the art of Tang Soo Do with others in his Waterbury, Connecticut community. What began with one student has grown for more than 50 years into the internationally respected Cheezic Tang Soo Do Karate Federation, an organization with thousands of members worldwide.

Our Philosophy
The Cheezic Tang Soo Do Karate Federation promotes the education of men, women and children in the traditional Korean martial art of Tang Soo Do. Founded by Grandmaster Robert A. Cheezic, the Federation is the governing body for its international roster of member schools. One of the oldest, most respected martial arts organizations in the United States, Cheezic Tang Soo Do is comprised of world-class martial artists from beginner to master level, all certified by the Grandmaster himself. Our goal is to teach self-respect and respect for others through the study and practice of Tang Soo Do. The ideas of respect and tradition are pervasive in all of our activities and for all students at every level of achievement.

Pilots for Kids
Federation member, Master Jeffrey Albright, participated in the 2011 "Pilots for Kids" program, delivering toys to children
at Yale New Haven Hospital in New Haven, Connecticut this December. The annual program began in 1997 as a project of Continental and ExpressJet Airlines. Airline pilots volunteer their time to visit children and their families in hospitals, bringing holiday gifts and much-needed cheer. Master Albright is a 5th Dan Black Belt in Cheezic Tang Soo Do and a distinguished member of our West Haven, Connecticut dojang. Thank you, Master Albright, for your dedicated community service!
