With the new app, you will now register for events and activities and purchase pre-order items – no more going to the front desk.
Additionally, should you need an in-stock item like gear or uniform, you can message Mrs. Chapman via the app to let her know, and she’ll have the item waiting for you at the front desk and will charge the card on file.

NEW CLASS SCHEDULE FOR FRIDAYS
Our class schedule for taekwondo students will change on Fridays to focus on preparing ALL students for our upcoming regional tournament. Friday classes will be Form Fridays. Classes are 20 minutes in length, and students will ONLY work on forms during their listed class time.
Basic Skillz – 4:30-5p (there’s no change here)
White and Yellow Belts – 5-5:25p
Orange, Sr. Orange, Green, Sr. Green Belts – 5:25-5:50p
Purple, Sr. Purple, Blue, Sr. Blue Belts – 5:50-6:15p
Brown, Sr. Brown, Red, Sr. Red Belts – 6:15-6:40p
Black Belts – 6:40-7p
Students will also have a chance to work on tournament board breaking in the 20 minutes before or after their form class time. For example, Orange – Sr. Green belts can work on board breaking from 5-5:25p or 5:50-6:15p. We reserve the right to limit the number of students who are practicing board breaking.
In addition to the Friday class schedule change, 2nd and 3rd-degree black belts will now be able to work on their forms on Tuesdays from 6:55-7:30p. Colored belt teens and adults will attend the 7:30-8:15p class time on Tuesdays.
You can download a copy of the new schedule here, or pick on up at the front desk.
