Classes Over "Break"

We are all looking forward to the rest of our Holiday Season and are praying for a white, white Christmas so we can enjoy an exciting ski season too.

We highly encourage the time between Christmas and New Years as time devoted to your own personal families, however, if you are missing your TKD family too much over the break (we too go through withdrawals during any time off) please join us for some all level classes.  We will hold classes on the 26th and 28th from 4:30-5:30.

Also, if you know you will have lots of time to devote to TKD over the break, consider being part of the Missoula Taekwondo Center First Night Demonstration Team.  We will practice the 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th and 31st.  The Demo Team is for everyone and you will learn some fantastic skills so please don't think you have to be a wiz to be part of it.

Show Your Stuff as part of our Demonstration Team

The Missoula Taekwondo Center Demonstration Team has been participating in Missoula's First Night Celebration for 10 years now and we have a reputation for putting on quite a show.  What makes the crowds gather to watch are not just the high flying kicks and powerful board and brick breaking but that the audience can see themselves in each of the performers.  Our demo teams have always been made up of all ages and belt levels and we are most proud of the diversity represented in our yearly performance.

This year we invite you.  Come be part of this fantastic group and share with your family and community your passion and hard work.

Practices begin December 1st and will meet Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7-7:30 until December 20th.  There will also be daily practices December 26-30, 5:30-6:30.  On New Year's Eve we will begin practicing at 10AM.  The performance is December 31st at 2PM in JC Penney Court at Southgate Mall. (Click here for Calendar)  this is the Kick Off for Missoula's First Night celebration.  Our performers will all receive a First Night button that will allow them to partake in the city wide activities.

Please sign up at the dojang and make every effort to be at all the practices.
