Master Joseph Carbo
Owner & Head Instructor • Greater Binghamton, NY
I began training in Tang Soo Do in August 2004 under Grandmaster D.A. Giacobbe. I am currently a 5th Dan Master Black Belt, 5-time World Champion, and 10-time Grand Champion.
My approach to teaching is simple: discipline matters more than belts, but we also train real, traditional martial arts. Students earn confidence through structure, standards, and consistent effort - not shortcuts or gimmicks.
Our school is,
For parents who want structure
Clear expectations, respect, focus, and accountability.
For kids who need confidence
Confidence built the right way through discipline and progress.
Learn Self-Defense
Learning Tang Soo Do does more than train the body and the mind. It teaches life saving techniques.
Why I opened Carbo's Tang Soo Karate Academy
I grew up in the Greater Binghamton area and opened this academy to share the positive effects of Tang Soo Do with as many students as possible - building stronger kids, stronger adults, and a stronger community through disciplined training.
