About Master Dave Tenedorio
Master Dave began his martial arts journey on November 9, 1989, training in Tang Soo Do and developing a deep respect for its discipline, structure, and striking principles. From the beginning, his focus was not just on technique, but on how martial arts shape confidence, character, and resilience.
After Hurricane Andrew destroyed his original school in 1992, Dave continued his training and earned his Black Belt in Tang Soo Do in February of 1993. His dedication and leadership led him to become Chief Instructor and Manager of South Dade Tang Soo Do, where he played a key role in developing students and instructors alike.
At the age of 23, Master Dave opened his first studio and grew it into one of the largest Tang Soo Do–based programs in the country. Over the next 36 years, his experience as a teacher and lifelong student shaped a clear philosophy:
Tang Soo Do must remain a living martial art.
Through continued study of close-range self-defense, grappling principles, weapons awareness, and modern striking, Master Dave refined how Tang Soo Do is taught — not to replace tradition, but to make it functional, relevant, and meaningful for today’s students.
Today, the House of Warriors teaches Tang Soo Do – Moo Sa Kwan, a modern interpretation of the art that emphasizes:
-
strong fundamentals and technique
-
practical application and movement
-
discipline, respect, and warrior character
-
confidence under pressure
-
and lifelong personal growth
Our system honors the roots of Tang Soo Do while allowing it to evolve — preparing students not just for the mat, but for life.
