Announcements
Saturday classes will be adjusted this month due to Black Belt Testing! Talk with your instructor for specific info!
Tricks & Flips Class is on Wednesdays at 7pm. Due to the crazy Saturday schedule we have decided to move Tricks & Flips to Wednesday nights at 7. This will allow the class to meet consistently without interruptions from Saturday events. Tricks & Flips will build your core and improve many aspects of your Taekwondo, besides learning cool skills to spice up your creative performances like demo team, weapons, or creative forms. Come try it this week and be prepared to have a blast! All Black Belt Club members are invited to attend.
We’ve started a brand-new testing cycle! It’s a great time to start classes, and we invite all family members of current students to come try one class for free during until this Friday!
Service Opportunity – Raising funds & Donations for Primary Children’s! You can participate in the service project by donating items, or, if you want hours for testing you can hand out flyers (which can be picked up at the front desk) to family, friends and neighbors and return a few days later to pick up any donations left on the porch. Keep track of service hours and turn in hours and donations to Carol Merkley or the front desk. A flyer with more info has been emailed to current students, or you can look on Primary Childen’s website for a list of ways to give.
Tired of hauling your gear to and from the studio, or worse, leaving it at home and getting to do pushups? If this sounds like you, then we have a solution! Big enough to hold your uniform, gloves, and sparring gear, our on-site lockers can be rented for just $7.50/month or $60/year! Availability is limited, so if you want one, talk to the front desk today!
