Region 20 February Black Belt Class
Each month, Masters, Black Belts, and Cho Dan Bos come together for a dedicated training session. These gatherings are a time for advanced students and instructors to train side by side, refining their skills and deepening their understanding of our incredible martial art.
This month we step into a dynamic and exciting class dedicated to the study of traditional martial arts weapons, where focus, precision, and controlled power come together. Train with a wide range of weapons—including staff, sword, knife, nunchucks, fan, and more—learning how each becomes a natural extension of the body. This training enhances coordination, balance, spatial awareness, and discipline while deepening your understanding of timing, distance, and intent.
We are also proud to introduce Gumdo, the way of the sword. Gumdo emphasizes proper posture, grip, cutting mechanics, and mental clarity, blending calm focus with decisive action. Whether you are new to weapons training or looking to expand and refine your skills, this class offers a powerful opportunity to grow, challenge yourself, and connect with the deeper traditions of the art.
Come ready to move, learn, and explore a bold new dimension of your martial arts journey. We’re looking forward to training together and starting the year with strength, focus, and excitement. Tang Soo!

Region 20 March Black Belt Class
Each month, Masters, Black Belts, and Cho Dan Bos come together for a dedicated training session. These gatherings are a time for advanced students and instructors to train side by side, refining their skills and deepening their understanding of our incredible martial art.
This month our class is a true test of focus, stamina, and mental discipline, built around the powerful experience of performing 100 forms in one session. Each form demands precision, intention, and presence, pushing you to maintain technical clarity while managing physical fatigue. As the repetitions build, the real training begins—learning to stay grounded, sharp, and energized even as the body tires. This is not just a workout, but a moving meditation that strengthens memory, breath control, and indomitable spirit.
Come prepared for an intense and rewarding training experience. Be sure to bring plenty of water, as hydration will be essential throughout the class. Wear your uniform and bring all your weapons and supportive training shoes if required, and consider bringing a towel for sweat. Most importantly, bring your focus, determination, and strong spirit—this class is as much a mental challenge as it is a physical one, and what you bring internally will carry you through all 100 forms.
Come prepared to challenge yourself, elevate your mindset, and discover how deep your focus and energy can truly go.
