January has been very dynamic and exciting so far.

Our new series “LEADERSHIP and MOTIVATION” kicked off with a bang.

We started This new program where our Special Class ( Poomsa and Sparring) and Demo Team members join the regular classes and lead, show, help, and encourage the students.  The Special Class Demo Team members learn to take the role of leaders and learn the weight of the responsibilities as one.  For the students, it can be a source of motivation that can help them set new goals.  The classes have been so much fun, too.  We hope to do this more often this year.

Our adult class had a black belt testing last Saturday, December the 9th, 2023.

We were honored to have Grandmaster Lee, Yong Geun and also Grandmaster Eo, Soo Il from Spain with us to observe the Adult Black Belt Testing.

Our 2023 Holiday Goody Bag project was a huge success again.  We thank all the volunteers and parents who took the time to bring them out.  All the backpacks were filled with essential items, including beanies, gloves, socks, scarves, blankets, and toiletries.  We are always grateful that we can share what we can with those who are in need.

Our Demo Team will be Performing at the 11th U.S. Kuk Gung Festival on Saturday, October 28th, 2023.

The Kuk Gung is a Korean Traditional Archery that goes back more than 2000 years.

We are honored to be invited again this year.  

Another great Taekwondo celebration at the ATC Championship 2023. Young athletes got a chance to experience the competition, our senior black belt learned to be referees, and our awesome demonstration team had a chance to show off their performance routine. You can check out their performance on our YouTube page.

Going to a Taekwondo Competition is more than just winning.  Although winning makes you feel great, there are more awesome things that let you know that you are with a special group of people who elevate you.  Check out some of the photos below for a recap.
