Fathers Day Class!!
Saturday June 14th

In honor of Father's Day, we want you to bring your Dad, Uncle, Grandfather, older brother (or any male) to class with you on Saturday, June 14th! Have your guest wear some comfortable clothing, as he will participate in class with you. You will be able to show him what you have learned 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 (or guest) sign it, and bring it back with you and your guest on June 14th! 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 Requirement.

Testing & Graduation

R.B.E. Program

The Red Belt Enrichment (RBE) program is designed to help our students excel.

 

The RBE Program is a program that is available to all Red Belts and Black Stripes regardless age. Students will earn the privilege to wear coloured chevrons on their left dobok sleeves once they have successfully re-examined for each junior belt level. This program has been created in order to provide an excellent opportunity for students to prepare and review material vital for their upcoming Black Belt examination. By earning all 10 chevrons students can be much more confident of a successful Black Belt Exam.

 

There is no cost to sign up for the program although you must purchase a new student manual to record their re-examination results. Please see Mr. Pagnotta or Ms. Dionne for more information.

Attention ALL Black Stripes:

Your BLACK BELT EXAM is coming up in a few months! Be sure to review both your Qualification Code and Black Stripe Checklist to ensure you have all your requirements fulfilled for your test. At this point you should be working regularly with your mentor and practicing material from ALL belt levels in order to prepare for your exam, as well as ensuring that you will have a passing mark for your fitness test. Please see Mr. Pagnotta or Ms. Dionne if you have any questions.

Red Belts!

RED BELTS and up! Find yourself a mentor! It's also time for you to start thinking about the T.L.P. Program (Tien Lung's Leadership Programs). You can get information about these programs from Mr. Pagnotta and Ms. Dionne.

 

It is also a good idea to start attending the Red Belt & Black Stripe Prep class on Saturdays from 2-3pm. This is an excellent chance to train with the Black Belts, review all your color belt material, and focus on your Black Belt exam components.

 

Practice makes perfect!!!

Something to Think About...

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.
