Fathers Day Class

In honour of Father's Day, we want you to bring your Dad, Uncle, Grandfather, older brother or any male to class with you on Thursday, June 12th! Have your guest wear his comfortable clothing, and he will participate in class with you. You will be able to show him what you learn in Taekwon-Do, and he will also be able to try some basic moves! (Don't worry nothing too strenuous!) All you need to do is pick up a guest waiver form, and have your dad (guest) sign it, and bring it back with you and your guest on June 12th! Looking forward to seeing you all there! Psst… this is a great way to check off "YES" for bringing a friend to the dojang or Tien Lung function on your Qualification Requirements (make sure you introduce your guest to your instructor). Guest waivers are available at the front desk.

6:00pm - 7:00pm

New ID Cards

Watch for it! We will soon be handing out new ID cards in class, which will replace your old ones. Do NOT attempt to use the old cards once you have received your new ones.

It is mandatory that EVERYONE scans their card prior to class.

Popsicle Days

Come and do class on Wednesday, June 25 & Thursday, 26 after class on your way out, get a yummy popsicle! For participating students only.

Game Days

Sometimes after all the hard work you put into training, it's fun to switch gears, and do something different. On Wednesday, June 25th & Thursday, June 26th, we're doing just that! Come to Taekwon-Do at your regular class time and get your workout by playing games! This is a great way to unwind and do something a little different for a change.

Time to think of Taekwon-Do Summer Camps

Even as you read this, you might have seen advertisements for Summer Camps. Many kids are already preoccupied with choosing camps they think they would like.

Since the early 1900's summer camp has provided a safe, fun, learning experience for children of all ages. Summer camp began in northeastern U.S. and the area remains the Mecca for traditional general camps as well as specialty programs of all kinds.

Think about this. All children at some point need a temporary break. Summer Camp will give you a chance to connect with other children and nature in a caring and safe community.

A Taekwon Do camp experience, in particular, will enhance your mind. You could try new activities, gain proficiencies and skills beyond what school offers, build lifelong friendships and develop a sense of independence. It will help you relieve stress, instill in you discipline and respect for others, teach you new information, and provide fun games and activities to develop your body and mind.

Just imagine yourself at Tien Lung Taekwon Do Summer Camp. You would wake early in the morning just as the bird's chirp and the rooster's crow. In the silvery blue mist of the early morning, your parents drop you off at the dojang. As soon as you arrive you will do some Taekwon Do and play some challenging and fun games till lunchtime. After which there will be fun activities and out trips to various locations in and around Edmonton (unless of course you don't like places like: West Edmonton Malls Galaxyland, Royal Alberta Museum, Swimming, Bowling, Lasertag & Mini-Golf). How wonderful to be able to spend your summer this way. This is just a guide to the kind of Summer Camp you can look forward you.

Keep in mind that Taekwon Do Summer Camp is fun-filled and educational, and more so than any other Summer Camp because of the focus on character-developing, community-awareness and good citizenship. So, make your plans now and enjoy a Martial Arts Summer Camp this year.
