We are opening up our character building program. As you know, Master Lee and the instructors work with the students to provide a quality curriculum for the students at TKS.
Many parents sit outside the dojang looking in and may not be sure what is going on inside. We would like to bridge that by opening up the curriculum that is happening inside to the parents sitting outside. On the screen where pictures are shown, you will be able to see what to expect in daily classes that week and also see what the focus is for the week. Class pictures will be shown from the previous week so you can see some of the techniques the students have learned.
Another part of the curriculum we will be opening up is the character building. Every month, we will focus on two aspects of character building such as respect, responsibility, cooperation, determination, and more. In class, students can learn how it connects to not only taekwondo but out of taekwondo too. Outside of class, parents can know what their child has learned and also help them use it at home.
Black Belt Candidate Orientation & Seminar
All Assistant Black Belts and 1st Kup Black Belts are required to attend an orientation and six seminars which will prepare the student for his/her upcoming DAN (Degree) test. The Black Belt test occurs twice a year in May and October. Each prospective black belt must participate in a seminar in order to be deemed ready for the test.
The orientation will cover the requirements and score guidelines for each category of the test, whereas the seminars will be more detailed and intensive coverage on form, breaking, and sparring techniques of Taekwondo. You, the parents, are highly recommended to join the seminars with your child for your own understanding of the test and to show support. Once again, this seminar is mandatory for, and only available to, Assistant Black Belts and 1st Kup Black Belts.

Outreach Program
Thank you so much for the amazing support for the Outreach Program!
On Sunday morning, six of our TKS students were accompanied by Master Lee, Instructor Kwak, and their parents to help the homeless in LA. We had a great turnout of students and amazing support from our TKS family. Many families brought warm blankets, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, and warm clothes which are greatly needed.
