News

Our annual interschool tournament is coming up on Saturday November 12th.  Exiting event in which students can compete in forms, weapon forms, sparring, grappling, and weapon fighting.  It’s the Olympics of the martial arts!  Practice hard everyone and we all look forward to the showcase!

All information and details about the event can be found BY CLICKING HERE

That’s right everyone, we are past the half-way mark of summer so it’s time to get in your registrations for the afterschool program!  Our unique program is a complete blast for the kids, and the training & leadership development unmatched!  Very hard to believe that so much happens each and every day.  For all returning students just drop off your registration forms, and if you are someone new interested just contact us to setup a time for a tour and see what all the excitement is all about.

Lastly, please remember that we do have limited space in this program and will most likely reach full capacity right away!  So, while all returning students have a space, all new people are welcome on a 1st come 1st serve basis.  And then once program full, we will add additional people to a wait-list.

Have a great end of the summer, and look forward to seeing the kids back on the mats!

Please enjoy your time over the next couple weeks with your families.  There is so much going on in all of our lives all year round, and even lots to do over the holidays coming and going everywhere.  However, I hope that we all can soak in our time with those close to us.  Time will fly by that’s for sure, so let’s build some moments and connections that are valuable.

Winter Break Schedule

As a reminder there will be no classes starting tomorrow (Saturday) through Sunday January 3rd.  However, the dojang will be open for some staff projects & administration – plus there is open  mat time for anyone who is looking to get in some workouts and sweat a little.  So, for the next 2 weeks, the Mondays, Tuesdays, & Wednesdays open hours will be from Noon to 8pm, and then all closed up on the other days of the weeks.  Monday January 4th everything will be all back to normal full schedule!

TLK Afterschool Spring Renewal

I know most of you got things all set to go for spring, however, if you haven’t already please take care of renewing spring registration.  We need to confirm our spaces, and of course want to ensure that all existing people keep their spaces in the program as we are still close to our full capacity #s.  This can be taken care of with Bryce, and if you need to email with him, just use bryce@hwarangdomn.com as a contact point or swing into the dojang during hours mentioned above.

Thank you all once again for a wonderful year!  I feel very fortunate that we have such a great community of people participating in Hwa Rang Do, and it is exciting seeing so much vibrant strength and energy from all of you.

Enjoy the break from the outside world, and soak in the internal!  Balance back and forth for peace and harmony.

With love and respect,

Hwarang!

Holiday Party & Demonstration
We will be putting on an ALL school demonstration for ALL ages and ranks of students.  Everyone from the Little Tigers, Juniors, TLK Afterschool Kids, Adults, and Instructors will show off a variety of moves. Feel free to bring your family and friends for all the festivities – show them what you have been learning!  Please come a little early to get your parking place, drop off the food, get in some warm-ups and bet ready for the demonstration as we will start the show promptly at 5:00pm. (Doors open at 4:30pm)

Pot-Luck Dinner will take place immediately after the demonstration.  Please bring a dish to share, and check out the sign-up sheets on the counter at either 1st or 2nd floor for adding your name to the menu selection!

Party will go late, but feel free to stay as long as you can.  I know there are other events this time of year – so have fun here and there!

Winter Break
As a reminder we will be having a normal schedule the week of December 14-18, however our annual winter vacation will be taking place Dec 19 to Jan 3.  There will be open workout time available afternoon & evening on the Mondays through Wednesday, but otherwise, no official classes during the 2 weeks.  All else returns as normal starting January 4th

See you on the mats!

The Dojang will be open tomorrow morning for all who wish to join as a group for a moment of silence, meditation, and prayer for global peace & harmony. If you are unable to attend here, we hope that you will be able to take a moment of your own – for 11 minutes, on the 11^th minute, on the 11^th hour, on the 11^th day, of the 11^th month.

This moment, will continue on as an annual HwaRangDo holiday, as we recognize the anniversary of the strategic summit that developed our vision statement, as well as to shine some light and peace into our chaotic and unstable times. As we calm ourselves, many possibilities open!
