Don't forget that we're back to wearing full doboks to Tuesday classes. Saturdays t-shirts are still fine, unless it is testing day!
We will meet at Lyons Park at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow to secure a spot toward the front of the parade. The parade route is a little shorter this year and only goes to the intersection of Nettleton and Oak Streets.

Proper attire for walking in the parade includes training pants from your uniform and either the top or a Grand Master Kim’s t-shirt (Demonstration Team Members may wear their DEMO Team Uniform), your belt, and SNEAKERS. Please DO NOT WEAR SLIDES or FLIP-FLOPS.
Looking forward to seeing students at class in the morning. We will begin class with a special announcement, testing of one Little Dragons student, subsequent belt presentation, and then, regular Saturday class. Green Belts and above, please bring your sparring gear!
NO TAEKWONDO CLASSES TOMORROW, JUNE 27TH.
Please practice your forms at home. Remember that class time is to refine techniques, smooth transitions and work on making power. Once poomsae has been taught in class, students are expected to memorize them at home. The GMK website has reference videos and step-by-step instructions available for all Poomsae, Self-Defenses, Hashinsool, and terminology available for all active students. Please let your instructor know if you need your username information or your password reset.
This Saturday is the June Testing Event. Testing will begin at approximately 10:30am.
Even if you are not testing, please attend and support your fellow students and receive individual instruction during warm-ups.
Full uniform is required. Sparring gear is always required at testing for Purple Belts and higher.
