MAD taekwondo

Today’s special Black Belt Club yoga class with Ms. Kate was such a fun and meaningful experience.
Both students and parents truly enjoyed the class, and it was a wonderful opportunity to strengthen both body and mind together.

It was especially meaningful because Ms. Kate is part of our Taekwondo family — Alex’s mother and Mr. Kevin’s wife.
We sincerely appreciate the professionalism and positive energy she shared as a Level 500 yoga instructor.

Thank you again for spending this special time with us. We look forward to more great classes together!

Today, we completed the second session of our 153 Senior Program.
The steps may feel small now, but each one is building toward something truly meaningful.
Your courage, consistency, and positive spirit are what make this program shine.

Let’s continue growing stronger and healthier together.
So proud of every one of you 😊

Last week PNO :)

Today, we officially launched our 153 Senior Program.
We didn’t advertise it publicly and began quietly with just one participant—Ms. Beth—but thinking about how beautifully this program will grow fills my heart with excitement.

Welcome, Ms. Beth.
Thank you for being the very first to begin this journey with us.
We look forward to building a warm, active, and thriving 153 senior community together!

🏆 What an incredible tournament weekend!

We are so proud of all of our students for their hard work, courage, and amazing attitude throughout the competition. Every student showed growth, determination, and true martial arts spirit — not only in winning medals, but in stepping onto the mat and giving their best effort.

Yesterday, we celebrated Mother’s Day with a special workout time together with our parents.
Sharing sweat, smiles, and meaningful moments reminded us how precious this community truly is.

To all the parents who continually support and care for your children —
and for joining us for this event — thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Your presence made the day warmer, happier, and truly memorable.

With gratitude and love,
we’re sharing some of the beautiful moments from yesterday.

We are so proud of Bodan belt Julia Mendes for successfully completing her Black Belt Project!

For her project, Julia chose to support the Ada Jenkins Center, an organization that serves communities across North Carolina by providing food, education, and essential resources to those in need.

With a sincere desire to make a positive impact, Julia organized a fundraiser by creating and selling handmade cards at 153 Taekwondo and Davidson College. She also led a food drive to help stock the center’s food pantry.

Through her dedication, leadership, and kind heart, Julia was able to make a meaningful difference in her community.

Great job, Julia! Your actions truly reflect the spirit of a Black Belt, leadership, compassion, and service to others.
