Studio Announcements April 2021
Karate Skills & Sparring Intensive Training Camp (Karate BBC Students) July 26th - 30th 9am - 3pm
Senior Orange belts and Higher
BBC only
July 26th - 30th
9:00am - 3:00pm
We need a minimum of 10 students to run this camp
$329
This camp focuses on improving our traditional Tang Soo Do skills such as forms (we will work through Bassai Dae for some students,) one steps, free and point sparring, self defense, and a ton of fun sparring drills and games.
This will be similar to previous years Karate training camps however there is no double testing. We will be doing a combination of indoor and outdoor training, learning advanced training with sais and cane and hope to make at least one walking trip to our local park for outdoor training. There will be a pizza party and student chosen movie on Friday.
You will earn 20 classes for participating in this camp and it is a great way to make up for classes you might have missed over the summer vacation or to brush up your skills. Students will learn forms and training ahead of their current rank and should show up ready to work. This is our most intense camp and has a total Karate focus.
Action Star Karate Fun Camp August 2nd - 6th 9am - 3pm
All ages and ranks welcome
August 2nd - 6th
9:00am - 3:00pm
We need a minimum of 10 students to run this camp
$329
Our second camp this summer will be an Action Star Karate Fun Camp. This will include some skill-based training but will mostly be losing our minds being action stars. This camp will focus on the various martial arts you see in the movies. Learn cool XMA nunchaku/weapons forms (age appropriate,) lots of obstacle courses, awesome spinning kicks, showmanship, ninja rolls and game-based training.
All of this will focus on creating a short action film as a group. From story-boarding and script-writing to creating costumes and scenes, to final editing. On Friday, we will have a pizza party and a family viewing of our 1-3 minute video. This is sure to be both a great time and a good laugh for our families. This is our first year offering this creative camp and is sure to be a regular option forward (unless we bomb it.)

We are taking pre-orders on our 2021 retro t-shirts which are $25. These shirts can be worn in place of your Dobohk tops during the hotter days of summer beginning in May.
