About Us

Orange County School of Martial Arts was established in March of 2007 by Larry Gilliland and two long-time friends and training partners Michael and Matthew Torchia.  All are students of David Sgro, founder of San Kil Tang Soo Do. 

Orange County School of Martial Arts is committed to providing an atmosphere that promotes fellowship, discipline and personal growth.  Our goal is to develop students' self-esteem so that they will have the confidence to successfully confront life's physical, mental and spiritual challenges.

Classes are taught in reasonably sized groups with careful attention given to individual goals and challenges.  Every student's success is important to us and no one sits on the bench.  Progression is allowed to occur naturally with each student gaining experience and confidence at his or her own pace.  Advancement in rank is never held in higher regard than personal excellence.

Facility

Classes are held at the OC School of Martial Arts Dojang in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA.  We have  a 1000 square foot hardwood bamboo floor on a floating "neo-shock" sub-floor, an ideal floor that absorbs the shock of jumping, reducing stress on bones and joints and the risk of training injuries.

You can find us right across from the US Post Office in RSM adjacent to Ironstone Bank in Plaza Empresa.
