We are a family oriented studio and have been in operation since 1999. Master Rich Arteca, Oh Dan (5th degree black belt) is the chief Instructor and has trained in this style since 1983. Tang Soo Do is one of the oldest martial art systems and consists of blocking, punching and both ground and flying kick techniques. Weapons and hapkido techniques which are designed to help smaller individuals defend themselves against larger opponents when the need arises are also taught. Our philosophy on fighting is to avoid it whenever possible and to fight only when other attempts to avoid a conflict have been exhausted.

Arteca's Martial Arts has been a certified studio in the World Tang Soo Do Association since 1999. During this time the student base at our studio has grown dramatically requiring more space than at our previous locations in Potters Mills. To overcome this space limitation we purchased an old Lutheran church located in Spring Mills, PA with over 3,000 square feet of actual training space more than tripling our original space. We have been up and running at this location thanks to the hard work of the students at Arteca's Martial Arts since November 2004.

In 2016, the Penns Valley YMCA opened providing a second location under the direction of Ms. Jeannette Arteca, Sah Dan (4th degree black belt).
