Summer Martial Arts Update

Hey Everyone,

  Just thought I'd share with you what is going on for the summer. As far as Tae Kwon Do and Tang Soo Do are concerned, New Edge Martial Arts has already hosted an in-house sparring tournament for youth students. The sparring tournament was held last Saturday, July 17th. 24 students competed, which is a great turnout for the summer. It was a very fun experience, and a great way for them to stay focused for when the bigger competitions arrive in the fall season.
  On Saturday, August 14th there will be an in-house forms tournament for students aged 5-14- each being broken up into respective divisions, of course. Home events are always fun to host. :)
  Last Monday five adult students participated in the 2nd Hap Ki Do test ever at New Edge Martial Arts. It was a near-flawless performance on their part- amazing to witness. Several other adults who could not make that date due to personal circumstances will be testing soon at a makeup.
  Speaking of Hap Ki Do, the 8th Triennial World Hap Ki Do Championship will be taking place in early August in Battle Creek, MI. I am considering going to either witness or POSSIBLE participate... as this is the first time the event has not been in South Korea. Sweet! :)

  Lastly- does anyone know where one could take lessons in the Korean language in the Detroit area?

Until Next Time,
Master Kevin :)
