Our Demo Team did an amazing job performing at the 80th Annual One World Day in the Cleveland Cultural Gardens!

One World Day brings together cultures and communities from around the world, with over 35,000 people attending last year. This year, we were honored to be invited to perform and represent Korea and the art and sport of Taekwondo.

We are incredibly proud of our Demo Team for all of their hard work, preparation, and the energy they brought to their performance. Thank you to everyone who came out to support us and to One World Day for giving our students the opportunity to be part of such a special event.

Great job, Demo Team!

🥋 Congratulations to all of our Black Belt Testers! 🥋

Congratulations to everyone who tested this past Saturday! Preparing for this test was not easy. Each student has spent years training and working toward this moment, and once we began our final preparation, they were in the dojang practicing nearly every single day.

We are extremely proud of the dedication, discipline, and perseverance everyone showed throughout this process. From memorizing and performing all of their forms, kicks, hand techniques, one-step sparring, breaking techniques, and fitness requirements, countless hours of practice went into earning this achievement.

A Black Belt is not the end of the journey — it represents the beginning of a new chapter in your Taekwondo training. 🥋

🌟 Julian C. — 1st Dan
🌟 Ethan F. — 1st Poom
🌟 Jake F. — 1st Poom
🌟 Sofia M. — 1st Poom
🌟 Alessandra H. — 1st Poom
🌟 Thomas S. — 1st Poom
🌟 Niall A. — 1st Poom
🌟 Rosie P. — 1st Poom
🌟 Nathaniel P. — 1st Poom
🌟 Penelope P. — 1st Poom
🌟 Matthew A. — 1st Poom
🌟 James P. — 1st Poom
🌟 Mohammed S. — 1st Poom

For those unfamiliar with the terminology, Poom and Dan are both official Kukkiwon Black Belt ranks. Poom is awarded to younger Black Belts under 15 years old, while Dan is the adult Black Belt ranking. Once a Poom holder reaches the appropriate age, their Poom can be converted to the equivalent Dan rank.

Years of training led to this moment, and every one of you should be proud of what you accomplished. Congratulations, Black Belts!
