Dragon Heart Tang Soo Do was started in Garberville, California is 1998 by Master Becky Wolverton (Rupp), then a 1st degree black belt with the World Tang Soo Do Association. Master Wolverton has since dedicated her life to teaching Tang Soo Do and women's self-defense. She is a 5th Degree Master Instructor and Regional Director of the World Tang Soo Do Association Region 1. Dragon Fire TSD in Fortuna has always been closely associated with the Dragon Heart family. Master Wolverton became the Chief Instructor in November of 2020 and it officially joined the Dragon Heart family. 

We strive to give our students the principles of the martial arts while increasing their self-confidence, focus, critical thinking, and goal achievement. Every student at every age is trained towards attaining black belt in their career. Hopefully they will continue through the higher ranks into Master one day.
