About Us

Scorpion HeadshotThe PaSaRyu system was started by Kang Rhee when he came to the United States in 1964.  Having studied in South Korea under Master Byung In Yun, Master Nam Sak Lee and Master Chul Hee Park, Grandmaster Rhee had a broad variety of martial arts experience and decided to create a blend of styles that presented a more open and flowing pattern of movement while still being very powerful.  Thus PaSaRyu was born. 

Darren Yancey, Master Scorpion, started PaSaryu in the early 80's.  He was a head instructor at the PaSaRyu Headquarters for many years. When Grandmaster Rhee retired in 2012, Darren decided to start his own school.

Darren strives to provide the best learning environment and experience so every student can learn their requirements in a safe, controlled atmosphere.

Discipline, respect, and proper etiquette are taught along with the punching and kicking.  Students must behave properly in every aspect of their daily routine to promote.  Darren is constantly collaborating with parents to ensure the students are doing what they are asked without complaint.  Good conduct and grades are extremely important to Darren.  Anyone can teach punching and kicking, PaSaRyu instructors are guided by Grandmaster Rhee's lessons, philosophy and amazing technical ability.
