Serenity Butler is a Taekwondo student and AAU National Champion at our school. She is also a member of the AAU Taekwondo National Point Sparring Team.  Serenity is competing for Youth Athlete of the Year sponsored by 3BRAND and in partnership with Sports Illustrated. If she wins, she will appear in a 3BRAND ad in Sports Illustrated and receive $25,000!

Well, the 1st round of voting has ended! Serenity finished 3rd in the top 15. The top 15 are now in a 2nd round of voting which ends August 14th. I’m asking everyone to take a moment to help this young lady out by casting a vote for her. It’s free and it only takes a minute. So, PLEASE, VOTE (AGAIN) for Serenity as she is an outstanding student athlete with a 3.95 GPA to boot!

Dear Students, Parents, Guardians

We are making a few changes to the class schedule effective Friday, July 18th. The changes are highlighted in yellow on the schedule below.

We have, and have had, Lil’ Dragons who have earned their dragon Black Belt, but they are not old enough to go into the Juniors Program. We understand that there needs to be a bridge for these students until they turn 7. So, we are adding a new class for Lil Dragons Black Belts who have 8 stripes, but who are not yet 7 years old. It is called the “Karate Tigers” class and it will meet on Monday & Wednesday at 6:00 pm. There will be a small tuition increase of $20/ month. To join this class, see Ms C. for more information.

Also, since the AAU competition season has formally ended until next February, we are temporarily stopping the competition team class on Friday night. However, students who wish may stay after the Friday night sparring class to practice forms, weapons, sparring, etc. Instructors will be on hand until 8:30 pm for assistance/guidance.

Mr. Cavanaugh
