Master Larry Hoover will be hosting the 2010 Souix Falls Regional Tournament on October 8-9th.  Be sure to pick up information and registration forms at the club if you are interested in attending.  Sunday morning there will be a free SJB seminar for those willing to stay an extra day.  There is still time to order weapons if you don't have one yet.

We will be at the Mall of America on Thursday, June 3rd!  Our students will perform demonstrations before a special screening of the new Karate Kid movie.  Registration for this event is due by Tuesday, June 1st.  The movie trailer is available here.

We will be at Tater Daze this year!  Our students will be walking the parade and performing demonstrations.  New students should look for us at the vendor fair.  We will be holding a raffle, teaching quick mini lessons, and have special offers available.

Our next testing will be on May 20th. Be sure to pick up a registration form during your next class. 

Beginning in January the Tuesday 7:00pm class will focus on single ssahng jeol bong.  Also known as nunchucku this weapons original purpose was a farming tool.  It was later adopted as a fighting weapon in times of war.  In modern times it has been showcased in action movies and martial arts demonstrations.  I look forward to helping all my students learn to use the ssahng jeol bong and grow as martial artists!

The weapons we use are padded to ensure everyone is safe.  Along with learning the physical skills of handling the weapon, we will also discuss proper respect for our weapons.  It is important that everyone understands that these weapons are not toys and are not to be used inappropriately.  After completing this training students will be prepared to participate in weapons competition at all ATA tournaments!

If you need to purchase a ssahng jeol bong we have them for sale at the club.  Only ATA approved weapons will be allowed in class.  I hope to see everyone participate in our weapons class this January prepared to do their best.
