Karate Kid Demo Successful for Academy and for Boys and Girls Club!

The Korean Academy of Taekwondo North performed a weekend demonstration to promote the new release of the Karate Kid and to raise support for the local Boys and Girls Club of Larimer County.  Thanks to the generosity of the people living in Northern Colorado, we were able to raise nearly $400 for the Larimer County Division.  We also had the opportunity to invite more than 30 people into our school for a low cost 1 month trial.  Many of which have decided to become students at the school.

Airbender Demo and fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club of Larimer County

A second demonstration 1 month later has also proven to be successful for the Boys and Girls Club of Larimer County.  During the course of 1 1/2 days, we were able to raise another $112 for this cause and greet many people in the area.  Once again, much thanks goes to the people living in Northern Colorado for understanding the service provided by the Boys and Girls Club and supporting their efforts.

Korean Academy of Taekwondo North Successful at State Team Trials

The Korean Academy of Taekwondo had 3 members qualify to participate in the State Team Trials this year.  All three came back with 1st place!  This is a prestigious honor for the competitors and the school.  These fighters represent the State of Colorado as the best of the best in the Black Belt division for Colorado.  Each of these competitors will be traveling to the Rocky Mountain Open next month to compete which includes the trials for the Pan Am games as well.  If these fighters place in this tournament, they have the opportunity to go to Las Vegas for the U.S. Open.  The U.S. Open is arguably the most difficult tournament in the world because it draws competitors from nearly every country.

Sarah Mast 2nd degree, Tyler Payne 2nd degree, and Master Kamil each gathered in 1st place at this tournament.  Best of luck and steady preparation for those tournaments that are coming in the near future.
