TKA is a system designed by Grand Master Chang. The TKA system blends traditional Tae Kwon Do, Karate-Do, and Aikido into a balanced art designed to condition the student both physically and mentally. The strategy incorporates hard and soft styles in both offensive and defensive movements, the Japanese art of Karate, the "Ki" power of Aikido, and the grace and fluidity of the throwing movements founded in the ancient Martial Art techniques, the speed and flexibility from Tae Kwon Do.
