We had an amazing couple test days, Friday and Saturday!! I am so excited about getting to know the 24 new brown belts that will be joining us at our Wednesday and Friday night classes.
Mr. Albaugh and Mr. Martin both had great tests for their temporary black belts and having Master Jung there for the higher Black Belts Test Saturday afternoon was really a highlight!!
Thanks to all of our fantastic Black Belts it was another very successful Tae Kwon Do test!

Just want to thank everyone for helping to make this years tournament the best ever!! Thanks to all of the participants that competed with great attitudes, making new friends from other schools. Thanks to the black belts, who spent their day intently judging with the hopes of giving all competitors their full attention and loads of encouragement. Thanks also to the parents and the many spectators who watched as their children and friends showed off their martial arts skills.
Mr. Wells and I are so proud to be associated with all of the fine people who spent that Saturday with us.
