Schedule Changes
We will continue our winter and spriing schedule through the summer, with classses for Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced students Monday through Friday evenings and Saturday mornings.
We are also continuing with the Friday 7 pm class as a non-specific class for all ages and all belts. Special requests for a topic to learn or practice will definitely be entertained, regardless of which week it is.

Tournaments
In May three students decided they would like to try another tournament, so Hae-In, Vi and Rosie went to Son’s Premier Taekwondo Championship in Brampton. They all competed and won medals in both patterns and sparring. They came back with two bronze, three silver and two gold medals between them! Congratulations, ladies, and thanks to Master Jessica who coached them to their successes!
In April six of our students took part in the 16th annual Tri Star Championship which was held at Conestoga College in Kitchener. They all brought home medals and had a great time! We had: Haejin win silver in sparring and bronze in patterns in the male 11-12 year old green belt division; Eliot win silver in patterns in the male 11-12 yo black belt division, Jayden win gold for patterns in male 13-14 yo red belts, Rosie win bronze for sparring in female 13-14 yo red belts, Vi win gold in both patterns and sparring in female 15-17 yo yellow belts, and Hae-in win silver in both patterns and sparring in female 15-17 yo blue belts.
It was a very busy afternoon for Master Jessica, who coached them all to their successes and inspired several of them to compete again in May! See some of our tournament pictures on the Gallery page.
Belt Promotions
Our next promotion tests will be held on Saturday, July 25.
On Saturday, May 30 we had seven students test for new belts. Rudra and Sarah tested for their yellow (8th gup) belts, Talal and Gauri for their green stripe (7th gup) belts, Qaassem for his green (6th gup) belt, Maariyah for her red stripe (3rd gup) belt and Ryan for his red (2nd gup) belt. The Befinners really impressed us with their breaking and the Advanced ones with their self-defense. Well done, eveyone!
On March 28 six students tested for a range of belts, so we had them all test together. We had Vi testing for green stripe (7th gup) belt, Beth for green (6th gup) belt, JinQ for blue (4th gup), Hae-in for red stripe (3rd gup), Derek for black stripe (1st gup), and McKenna for club black belt, It went well, overall, with a bit of self-defense confusion and some challenges with breaking, but everyone should be proud of their hard work and know that they definitely earned those belts. Congratulations!
On February 28 we held black belt promotions. The four candidates have been working on this for several months, and showed us some excellent patterns, very entertaining self-defense routines, and some challenging breaking! Congratulations to: Eric on advancing from club black to 1st poom, April from 1st to 2nd dan, Gabriel from 2nd poom to 3rd dan, and Colin to 4th dan, so he ranks as a Master. Good work, all, and well-deserved promotions!

In the morning we had six beginners test: Daisy and Elly got their yellow stripe (9th gup) belts, Talal and Gauri their yellow (8th gup) belts, and Azmina and Pratyn their green (6th gup) belts.
