Independence Day

Tang Soo Do training is so valuable because of the great lessons of character that it teaches; the same lessons that our Country was founded on. Our Founding Fathers realized that in order for us to gain independence and freedom, we must take action with integrity, courage, and humility. These are all great lessons that we practice in our Tang Soo Do training, so that we too may become better contributing members of society. This will lead to a better community that we all live in, and hopefully will influence our Country to continue to improve.

June’s Student of the Month! Master Steven Handwerker

Master Handwerker has been a loyal member of our school since opening 19 years ago. He is time eligible

to test for 5th Dan (Master) in January 2015. Recently, Master Handwerker has suffered some physical set backs, including learning that he has degenerative

arthritis in his right hip that is seriously challenging his ability to train. Given this, he still finds a healthy way

to train 3 days a week under the guidance of his doctors and Alvas, Sa Bom Nim. Master Handwerker

also volunteers in the do jang on a regular basis. He is a stellar example of commitment and dedication.

Join us on Saturday from 6-10 PM for a fun and safe children’s party!

$25 per child and siblings are only $15. Bring one friend for free and any additional friends for only $15.
