TKS Martial Arts will be holding a Kukkiwon black belt certificate test on Saturday November 4th at 5:00pm at the TKS Martial Arts Center.
It is time for the September promotion testing. We hold promotion tests every three months and send out an application form with the students. We will send out the forms for September starting Monday, August 28th. We strongly encourage students to attend classes to practice form and techniques to better prepare for the test. From Monday, August 28th to Wednesday, September 13th, students are able to attend as many classes to practice. However, they must attend the class that is their belt level.
Let’s welcome back Master Lee and three of our students!
Some of our students were able to travel to South Korea to train with Team Onesmiro. The team is lead by Master Kwon who is also Master Lee’s former instructor. They also visited the Kukkiwon headquarters in Korea.

We have some great news to share with the family this week.
From Monday, July 3rd to Friday, July 7th, eight of our TKS students have been competing in the AAU National Competition in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. The students have been training for a year to compete against over 7,500 competitors from all over the United States of America.
This is a highly competitive national competition where students from different taekwondo dojang’s come to display the technique, athletic skill, discipline, and stamina they have trained for all year.
This year was special for TKS Martial Arts because our very first Team Poomsae competed and won the silver medal.
Please help us congratulate our team!
