Important Announcement & Updates
Hello HRD Families!
We hope that you are doing well and everyone is staying cool and enjoying some quality summer days!
For some time now we have wanted to give some kind of update about the coming school year’s afterschool plans and open up registration. We know many of you are also eager to lock in plans, however, like you, we have also been waiting to see what the local schools and state guidelines come out with because of the COVID-19 situation. We know everyone is still having a tough time managing the situation and figuring out how to effectively deal with the multitude of issues related to COVID and the fallout of its consequences.
Coming up on Saturday April 27th an interschool tournament will be held in Minneapolis. This event is open to ALL Hwa Rang Do and Tae Soo Do practitioners of all ages, and many practitioners from around the Midwest region are expected to compete. There will be divisions for children through adults of ALL ranks, so prepare for an exciting day!

We’ll learn about the unique ways people live and how their unique cultures might be different from ours. On top of our cultural journey, we’ll spend time exploring some unique landscapes that the earth has to offer. If you want to know more about the planet we live on, then this camp is for you!

April 5th – Exploration – What does it mean to be an explorer?
You don’t have to go to the moon or climb mount Everest to be an explorer. In this camp, come find out what it means to be part of an expedition and how the actions of inquisitive people can be considered honorable and noble. Come along on a journey to unfamiliar places to help explore the world around us!
Martial Art Focus = Self-Defense & Bully Prevention: The 3 main topics of this subject that we will cover are 1) Prevention, 2) Verbal Resolution and De-Escalation, 3) Physical Defense. The stronger and more effective your 1st stage is the less you need the later stages, which is why building strength and confidence are critical aspects of ongoing martial art training. However, there are also many useful techniques one can implement to deal with unwanted encroachment, and we are committed to helping the kids learn how to take control and lead the situations they find themselves in versus being a victim.
