Thanksgiving Sale is going on now! While supplies last! Come check it out, or if you’re on our email list, check your inbox for PDFs of our current sales!

Current Covid Guidelines: We’re so grateful for you, and will do our best to follow the guidelines while still providing you quality martial arts instruction!  Here’s the plan:

1. Masks are required at all times when inside BST. Masks should cover nose and mouth. Make sure to bring your own mask! We are out of disposable masks, so if a student forgets their mask, we will give them a cloth one and bill the account they have on file for $5 plus tax.
2. If using equipment, use hand sanitizer before & after. Please wipe down the equipment afterwards with the provided spray & rag (or wipes, if available) 
3. We will social distance as much as possible. 
4. We still have  online classes available if you need them! Refer to your student manual for the codes.

BST 2020-2021 Monthly Calendar Inserts Free for BST Students! These monthly calendars are sized and punched to fit in your new student manuals and allow you to see one month per spread, which lets you see your whole month at a glance. All the BST events, including close dates, tape of the week, tenet of the week, and testing weeks are already in there so you’ll always know what’s going on at TKD!  Master Sorenson loves the new calendar so much that she wants every student to have it, thus, the 2020-2021 BST calendar is available free! Pick yours up today! (1 per student). Note: bring your student manual with you so you can put your calendar right inside. That way it doesn’t get lost or damaged in transit! 

We are renting lockers for $15 a month. These lockers are located over by the preschool and are spacious enough to hold your uniform, gloves, and sparring gear, as well as most weapons (bo staffs excluded unless they are telescopic). First come first serve!
