We welcome our students back from the Memorial Day weekend. We hope everyone enjoyed! Testing is coming up for end of June, so we will be preparing students throughout the week for their qualification Black Tips. Pre-testing will start in June. We wish everyone the best of luck! Testing Schedule coming soon!
This coming Monday, May 26 is Memorial Day. We will be closed in observance of this holiday, therefore our classes and private lessons will be cancelled. We hope you have a relaxing holiday!
We wanted to remind all our parents and students that summer schedule starts today until the school year starts again in Fall. All our classes will be starting at 5:30pm Monday through Friday instead of the regular schedule 4:30pm during Tuesdays and Thursdays.
If you have any questions about the schedule please ask Mrs. Chung in her office.
See you today at 5:30pm and onwards!
During the summer time we combine the 4:30pm classes into the 5:30pm classes. Therefore, starting May 19 (next Monday) we will be cancelling 4:30pm classes and starting each day Monday through Friday with 5:30pm class and onwards! Please view our Class Schedule for a visual representation.
We will be posting signs and also reminding our parents and students during class each day this week! Mark Your Calendars!
We had more then 20 families come in to celebrate Mother’s Day with us yesterday! Parents were seated while their children colored pictures for them, afterwards everyone participated in passing techniques which are good for the muscles and spine…as well as fun! Afterwards we ended the hour with parents choosing techniques to break board with their kids names on them! We had many punches, hammer fists, jumping double front snap kick, and even one wanted to try eye poking! Of course, it would not be complete without Mrs. Chung’s dumpling goodness!
For all the volunteers who came to help hold and engage our USMA moms (Master Maria, Mr. Franck Chatayan, Mr. John Kirby, Mr. Jason Norberto, Garen Kalendar, Sebastian Kirby, Patricia) we thank you for your support!
Happy Mother’s Day!
We are celebrating Mothers Today! USMA Students, please bring your moms in comfortable attire so they can join our exercising.
We will be having coloring, food, exercising, and board breaking!
See you there!
Attention USMA students and mothers! Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 11. We will be having our own celebration on May 9 during the 5:30pm class to honor Moms everywhere! If you have colored pencils or markers laying around, please bring them in so you can create a gift for your mother. Also if they are able to come in the class we have a special surprise involving board breaking!
We hope to see you there and enjoy this event!
We would like to congratulate everyone who came to the seminar yesterday! They did an excellent job following the drills and techniques that were done by the Master and learned new moves as well! Granted, this is a preview…without repetition and practice the knowledge of what is learned will fade. Please make notes from seminars to review in your mind and continue to grow!
Congratulations to our students and Masters who received their certificates of participation in this seminar! A special congratulations to Master Maria! She received a Letter of Commendation in honor of her “outstanding contribution to the success and development of Ko Am Mu Do Federation through the earnest performance of his/her assigned duties” signed by all the Grandmasters. Only a few Masters were given this award due to their participation in many events, competitions, and services to their individual schools.
We hope to see everyone for future events in October and November! These include the Referee Seminar and Competition. The exact dates are to be announced at a later date.
Monday through Friday we had many students moving up in their belt rank, and would like to congratulate them on their ongoing progress! It is not about the individual testings, but the continual improvement overall: their confidence, focus, discipline, technique, and artistic ability.
We wish you the continued best of luck for your future progress, and if you have any questions on your individual progress please do not hesitate to ask our Grandmaster or Masters.
Until the next testing!
Tomorrow is our exciting seminar in Ft. Myers with Master Ou Nam Kwon on Sword Cutting Techniques and Hap Ki Do! It will begin at 10am. Please bring your practice swords to the seminar and enjoy the new incoming knowledge from this Master. There will be lunch provided midway through the seminar!
See you there!
