Dinner and a Show (with Kick-a-thon)

Join us for some great entertainment and tasty dishes.  On Friday May 6th from 6pm-9pm.

The main dish will be Master R's Korean Barbque Beef (Bulgogi) which will be accompanied by everyone's favorite dishes.

The entertainment will be provided by our multi talented TKD family (that means you). Sign up at the dojang to be included in the line up.  Act can consist of any type of talent that is entertaining for all ages.  The time limit per act is 3 minutes.  Please see Mrs. Rosbarksy if you have questions or have special considerations.  

We also will hold the Kick-a-thon during the Dinner and a Show.  All MTC students may participate in the kick-a-thon by gather ing pledges in advance and kicking as many times as they can in 1 minute.  This is a super easy and fun MTC Booster Club fundraiser.

Sign up for the talent show and Kick-a-thon forms are on the front counter.

Again this year we will have a silent auction with many great items like a custom made Belt Rack, dental cleaning and whitening worth $275, golf lessons from golf professional David Owens.  The Booster Club and MTC Junior and Senior National Team would greatly appreciate your donated items to be auctioned off.

You may also purchase $5 raffle tickets for a Kona Mountain Bike worth $1400 donated by the Missoula Bike Works.

Funds from the Silent Auction, ticket sales and individual Kick-a-thon funds will be used for our athletes and coaches to offset the expenses associated with competing at and traveling to USA Taekwondo Junior Olympics and Senior Nationals this summer.

This is an incredibly affordable , evening of fun, food and fellowship for your whole family and our whole (TKD) family.

Tickets are on sale at MTC:  $3 for kids, $5 for adults or $12 for a family of 4.

A Quick Note From Master Rosbarsky

When an adult is asked to look back at the parenting style of their own parents and are asked to evaluate their up bringing, they always say the same thing:  "I'm grateful that my parents made me ______".

Or, "I'm glad they never let me quit _______".

I understand how tiring it is at times.  But I know it is my job to be Lydia and Edison's parent above all.  I tell them often, "Sometimes we get to be friends, but I am always your Dad.  And sometimes when I'm being your Dad, we are not friends."

If our parents didn't set rules, push, love inspire and point out where we did something wrong, how would we end up?  I know myself, if it was up to me, broccoli would not have been served at the dinner table.

We hear compliments every day about our Teen and Young Adult Black Belts.  They all share something common in their path to being amazing individuals.

They never quit.

Even when they participated in other activities, They never quit.

I know at times the kiddos fight us when we push.  I know we fight pushing ourselves.  Here's what I'm asking, and what I've followed in my life, Look to those you admire and emulate the behaviors you respect.  Ideas and intentions don't change anything, it's only when effort is applied, that the world moves.

So, let's put forth the effort in all aspects of our lives.  Let's fight the good fight even when it's hard.

Don't quit.

Annual All School Class and Class/Individual Pictures

The All School Class is for every MTC student!  Come enjoy the energy created by 100+ martial artists working together.  June 2nd at 6pm we will congregate at Franklin Park(click for map) to hold a very big regular class (no regular classes that day).  This is a great opportunity to see how many TKD big brothers and sisters you have to turn to for help and guidance.

AND This year we are excited to offer professional photos by local Photographer Steven Begleiter.  He will be taking individual photos at MTC from 3-6pm then taking group shots at the Park at 7pm.  Group and individual shots, a Memory Mate folder and Jpeg image will be $35.  Forms will be available at the dojang and must be turned in by May 31st to reserve your individual session.

Group shots will be taken of everyone and you don't HAVE TO purchase a group photo to be in it.  Black Belts should reserve your Individual session  to renew your photo in the dojang.

There will be a Black Belt and Black Belt Candidate meeting following the group photos.

Competition Adds so Much to Your Life

Being in this art/sport we are given so many great opportunities for personal growth.  We perfect our skills in class and practicing on our own, but in the arena of tournaments we are able to safely stretch past our previous personal bests and become more.  The objective of so many people in our current society is to orchestrate their lives in such a way that challenges are avoided.  We are of the thinking that meeting the challenges in life head on is what adds depth and meaning to our lives and shapes us into the leaders and achievers in all areas of our lives.

Although tournaments are a source of stress for many, they are a relatively safe environment to develop and test your skills in taekwondo AND life; skills in personal improvement, in handling stress, in time management, in leading a healthy life and maybe most importantly that nothing worthwhile was ever gained by being a spectator to life.
