Congrats to our students who came and competed at the 15th Annual Chul Jin Martial Arts tournament on Sunday! It was a long day of judo sweep, foam sword fighting, forms, sparring, jump kicking, and jump rolling. We had over 30 students represent Jun Chong TKD and we are very proud of you! Please inform the office of your final places in your events so we can announce them at the studio! And for those who enjoyed the foam sword fighting, we will be adding that event in our WUMAO tournament in the fall!

Introductory Yoga Seminar

We held an introductory Yoga Seminar on Saturday, January 31st for people who might be interested in taking yoga classes as they open up here at our Studio. The teacher, Kiha Lee, has been training in Yoga and dance for over 12 years and specializes in Iyengar Yoga, one of the more traditional and only therapeutic styles of Yoga.

There were 16 students who came to try the class, including Grandmaster Chong, Master Dexter Parker, and a great mix of men and women. The class went until 4pm, and we received great feedback regarding interest in Yoga.

We are currently looking for Yoga teachers either in floor Yoga or Iyengar Yoga to teach at our school about 2-3 days a week. Our goal is to provide Yoga classes for students and parents so they too can get a work out while their children are in our martial arts classes.

Please let us know if you're interested in joining our Yoga classes! We can contact you once a schedule has been finalized.
