As of January 1, 2011, the martial arts school formerly known as MacDermott’s Tang Soo Do is changing its name to Precision Tang Soo Do. After 30 years of administration, Master Carl H. MacDermott III has turned the administration of the school over to Master Scott R. Hile, with whom he has studied for 18 years. The school’s core values and traditional style of instruction remain the same, with the only major difference being the new name. Master MacDermott, who now concentrates his Tang Soo Do time on the instruction of higher belts, has ensured that the school’s history remains the same, even with the new name. Parents can rest assured that the same high standards and commitment to excellence that have been associated with MacDermott’s Tang Soo Do for the last 30 years still remain.
