Honoring and Remembering our Kwan Jhang Nim (Grandmaster) Brett Riley!!


 While in Connecticut, Brett discovered what would become his life’s work when he began training in martial arts. He opened the West Haven Academy of Karate of New Braunfels in December 1993. Brett taught thousands of students – he promoted over three-hundred Dans (black belts), over fifty Certified Instructors, and over twenty Master Instructors. He won fifteen National Championships and two Master’s Grand Championships, and his students won hundreds more at the National and International level. Brett earned his Cho Dan (first degree black belt) in November 1989, and still going strong twenty-seven years later when he earned the rank of Chil Dan (7th Degree black belt) in February 2016. In March 2023, Brett founded The Texas Academy of Karate system, including schools in Buda and Huntsville, TX. As a recognition of his lifetime of achievement and service to the martial arts, Brett was elevated to the title of  “Master Beyond Rank” by an international organization of Tang Soo Do Masters. In January 2025, he was promoted by his best friend SBN Tom Cox. His students describe that the relationships they formed with him and other students changed their lives for the better. He was not just a karate teacher, but mentor, father figure, brother and best friend. He will be greatly missed

TRAIN IN THE ART OF TANG SO DO! AND IN THE STYLE OF TEG SA SEU

At THE TEXAS ACADEMY OF KARATE in New Braunfels, Texas you will be taught the classical Korean martial "ART" of Tang Soo Do. Tang Soo Do (Hangul: 당수도, Hanja: 唐手道 refers to a Korean martial art based on Karate, as well as northern Chinese martial arts. This traditional art founded by the legendary Kwan Jhang Nim Hwang Kee, offers students a well-rounded, complete curriculum that will challenge the mind, body, and spirit of each and every student dedicated to achieving excellence in all areas of life.

At the heart of our "STYLE" TEG SA SEU (Texas Style) created by our founder Kwan Jhang Nim Brett Riley lies a profound sense of family, where parents and children practice side by side, forging unbreakable bonds through shared discipline and dedication. In the dojang, families unite in their pursuit of martial arts mastery, sweating together through rigorous forms and sparring sessions, their mutual encouragement echoing through the space. The school itself transforms into a second home, where instructors and students become an extended family, supporting one another with respect and camaraderie. This tight-knit community fosters not only physical strength and technique but also a deep sense of belonging, as the shared journey in Tang Soo Do Teg Sa Seu creates lifelong connections that feel as enduring as kinship.
