About our art
Qualified Instructor
Master Russell Colston
8th Degree Black Belt
Master Colston started his martial arts training in Baltimore, Maryland in 1971. He joined a Soo Bahk Do (formerly Tang Soo Do) Moo Duk Kwan school during his first military assignment in 1980 and continued training in this art ever since. Master Colston's follow-on assignment was to South Korea where he trained under some of the best Korean masters. He tested and was promoted to first and second degree black belt before returning to the United States. Grandmaster H.C. Hwang observed Master Colston's performance in the 11th Korean - American Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan Championships and invited him to contact him, when he returned to the United States in 1982. Grandmaster H.C. Hwang accepted Master Colston as his student and guided him from 2nd degree to 8th degree over a 35 year period.
Master Colston has an established track record of teaching Soo Bahk Do and upholding the martial arts banner in such places as Mississippi, Virginia, Germany, Greece, Maryland, Switzerland, Belgium, The United Kingdom, The Philippines, Malaysia, France, and Japan. He was a founding member of the European Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation and was appointed by Grandmaster Hwang Kee as the Chief Instructor of the German Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation.
Over the past twenty-two years, Master Colston selflessly donated his time to guiding the Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan training programs in the Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington DC Metro. His efforts helped more than ten of his students to progress from 4th to 7th degree master levels.
