Last Month
Easter Egg Hunt
It might have lasted more than just one minute, but the eggs did go quickly! Within 10 minutes of lining up for the event, our hunters were already sitting down and swapping candy with one another.To spice things up this year, we also had a raffle for giant eggs. The students who won these 3 eggs had wide eyes as they opened their large treats!

Sa JangTAE GEUK 4 JIN/Thunder
The fourth poomse is represented by thunder, which is one of the most powerful forces of nature. This form is a major step forward for the Taekwondoist, as he/she moves from beginner to intermediate status, and it must be performed with grace and power. Because the techniques are now much more technically challenging, mastery of Tae Geuk Sa Jang demands both courage and perseverance from the practitioner.

Meet Your Instructors
*subject to change
Mr. Hurst certified 4th Dan Black Belt.
Mr. Hurst started training Jan 2002, in middle school. Although he wasnt looking for a studio, a close friend had highly recommended Mr. Silvas classes. After trying a class, he was instantly hooked! Mr. Silvas exciting teaching style, and raw skills made a lasting impression.
The studio has done so much for me. I have always been a good student in school, but SMA helped me develop skills like goal setting, and public speaking. These lessons have given me a high level of control over my life, and Ive realized that I am able to create my own reality through hard work and dedication.
I continue to learn and grow, and I look forward to seeing each of my students achieve black belt. My favorite thing is the difference I can make in students lives. I see so much growth in all of them every month, and Im very proud to be a part of their lives. We are truly lucky to have such a wonderful group of families at our studio.

May TipRemember that stripes are like a checklist for you and your instructor. They signal that you can show your techniques correctly.This month we are focusing on the forms stripe, and we will test for it during the last week of May.Keep working hard in class, and make sure you are practicing at home! For extra help, ask your parents to look up a video for your form online. That way you can practice along with it, and work on memorization outside of class too.
