MTC in the Relay for Life

In the past year the MTC family has been touched over and over by cancer. We currently have students and their parents who are battling cancer, two Taekwondo parents, including Mrs. Rosbarsky's mother passed in the last year from cancer related illnesses, and we find so often through sharing with our TKD Family that nearly everyone of our students has been touched by a friend or family member who has battled one form of cancer or another.

All of these experiences have compelled us to once again be involved in the fight for our MTC family and against cancers of all kinds in our community. The American Cancer Society organizes the Relay for Life as a community wide event to bring Missoula together to fight cancer, by raising money for research, support and education.

This year we are so grateful to the Hueffed family for organizing our MTC team.

Helping out
This year you may purchase a board to be broken for $5 each in honor of someone you love who is or has been affected by cancer. You can decorate the board or have our team decorate it for you.
We are also selling luminary bags to be decorated in honor of or in memory of someone who has been affected by cancer. The Bags will line the track at Big Sky High School for the event on June 19th. Bags are for sale at the dojang for $10 each, buy one or buy many.

We have a very strong team and openly welcome any additional MTC family members who would like to join us at Big Sky High School Track on the Evening of June 19th through the morning of the 20th. Sign up on the counter to walk or run around the track for any part of the 16 hours and join the rest of the fun at the event.

Your help in any way is greatly appreciated.

Thank You to All

Summertime Reminders

We would like to remind our students of a few things as the weather changes.


We implore all of our students to wear shoes to and from the dojang. Aside from the obvious reasons of protecting the feet wearing shoes also protects the mat from a horrible film. For when we wear no shoes outside then walk directly on to the mat it is as if walking on the mat while wearing your shoes.

Clean feet also smell better and we all appreciate that.

Also, as a reminder, every student at MTC wears a similar or identical dobok and gear and when a whirl of dressing and undressing happens in the changing room often items don't match up with their proper owners. To help minimize mistaken and misplaced items please put identifying markings of all pieces of dobok, gear and the inside of the belt. Thanks for your help in minimizing the confusion that sometimes happens.
