Perseverance: One of the five tenets of Taekwondo, and a good one to keep in mind as we're confronted with the challenges brought on by the pandemic.

Congratulations to SEHVANA ARCHER-TRUMBLE for her 1st place finish! Keep up the effort!

Canadian online Poomsae Nationals, Day 1, are happening live (High Performance). We encourage you to watch! For those doing the recreational nationals, it will be helpful for you to take a look at how an online competition unfolds (those doing recreational will be submitting pre-recorded videos): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iskkcLAwdpk&feature=youtu.be

These are excellent (and up-to-date) videos of Taekwondo poomsae, with good explanations of the movements. Keep up with the practice everyone! Poomsae practice can help us work on our concentration... https://www.youtube.com/watch

We encourage M.T.L students to compete in Canada's virtual Poomsae Nationals! This is a great goal to set for ourselves, especially during a lockdown! Master Hong will help you prepare via Zoom.... If you're nervous or unsure: ...your poomsae is pre-recorded and submitted for judging ...no live audience ...no live judges while you perform your poomsae Contact Master Hong for details!

Virtual Poomsae Nationals! Let's get practicing, M.T.L students (open to all belt levels)! This is a great challenge to work towards... Please speak to Master Hong for details on registration as well as for practice exercises and lesson opportunities.

Dear MTL Students, Please enjoy this stunning and powerful Taekwondo demonstration by Kukkiwon's demo team (Kukkiwon = world TKD headquarters). The theme is "Cheer Up!". It depicts all continents battling the pandemic, and tells of hope and triumph. It's well-worth the 25 minutes to watch! We hope you enjoy it! (Please let us know your thoughts in the comments!)

Chile's Paloma Martinez (world champion Para Taekwondo) shows us that even in lockdown we can manage a quick warm-up and poomsae practice in this 4-minute video (her poomsae begins at the 2-minute mark).

Due to government COVID restrictions, there will be no more classes as of tomorrow, Thursday October 8th. We want to thank all parents and students for being so cooperative with the mask-wearing and for respecting the rules in place, your support has been appreciated! Wishing everyone a safe 2nd wave, and hope to see you in a few weeks! !

We haven't had this happen as of yet, but apparently it's a thing...

2020 September promotion test. Well done everyone!!
