Why Come to TKD in the Summer?

We are asked often why someone should come to Taekwondo in the summer or why you should do Taekwondo 12 months out of the year.

There are many answers to those questions.  I will start with the immediately tangible benefits to you, the student or parent.

1. The classes are smaller.
2. You are invited to come to whichever classes work for you.
3. Individuals come to classes that fit in their shifting schedule, meaning you will become acquainted with more of your TKD family and the different class dynamics will encourage learning from a new perspective.
4. You will continue making small steps (and sometimes incredible leaps) forward, never letting the dust settle on the skills you have worked hard to perfect.

We also see individuals who come back after a lengthy break be initially excited and then become downtrodden by their stagnation (or initial decline).  Ultimately resulting in a downward spiral that sometimes ends in the individual quitting Taekwondo.

The ultimate goal is to devote yourself to Taekwondo in a way that will promote the most possible personal growth in all areas of Taekwondo and life, and our goal is to help you maintain a constant progression to being your best possible martial artist and your best possible self.

In the summer especially, we fully encourage time taken off for family vacations and trips to the lake, and offer the flexibility in our schedule to make up any and all classes that may be missed before or after your time off.  If you would like help finding a suitable make-up class please contact us.

Consistent practice will lead you to being a martial artist and person you admire.

August Camps

Dae Myung Camp with Grand Master Jae Ho Park

A very rare opportunity to train with Grand Master Park and his son Edison Park are coming up August 26-28. 

 Grand Master Martin of Butte has coordinated an International Dae Myung Moodoo Federation Camp at Clark Canyon Bible Camp near Dillon, Montana.  The schools attending are IDMF schools from around Montana (MTC included), New York, California and possibly Rome, Italy. 

We will receive instruction in Taekwondo, Judo and Hapkido.  Aside from the instruction in techniques participants will come home with tremendous exposure to the Philosophies of the Martial Arts we hold so dear. Grand Master Park, Master Edison and Grand Master Martin are great men and gifted teachers who have much to offer us in the way of knowledge and humanity.

This camp is open to ALL Belts and ages!  We can not stress enough what a life changing opportunity this is and how seizing this moment is tremendously important.

The cost of camp is $130 which includes meals, lodging and instruction without instruction the cost is $95.  This means families can attend.  All campers under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult.

Summer Scheduling—We remain the same but you don’t have to.

As we near the time when school lets out for the summer, scheduling becomes a little erratic for most families, but we are here to tell you that Taekwondo will remain nearly the same as it has been in the spring and in summers past. 

Monday through Thursday will remain the same. The Friday schedule will be abbreviated to the 4-4:30 White Belt Poomse class and a 4:30-5:30 All Levels Poomse class.

We invite everyone to enjoy a more flexible summer by attending whichever classes work.  That may mean someone who usually attends on Monday and Wednesday as a yellow belt may, in the summer, choose to get their two classes in a particular week both on Wednesday by attending the Yellow Belt Class and the Green Belt Class—or whatever works.  Our goal is to keep the knowledge in our brains, keep our bodies moving, and enjoy every minute of it while allowing for a more flexible summer for all.
 

Mrs. Rosbarsky is happy to help you find what fits and works best for everyone.
