Hello Reader and family,

June has arrived, and with it comes a choice.

Many students will slow down during the summer months. Schedules change. Vacations happen. Routines disappear.

But successful martial artists understand something important:

Black Belts Are Built in June.

The habits developed during the summer often determine the progress students make throughout the rest of the year. Students who continue training consistently during June, July, and August return stronger, more confident, more disciplined, and better prepared for success.

This is what we call The Summer Advantage.

While others may take a break, Starworld students continue building:

⭐ Confidence
⭐ Discipline
⭐ Leadership
⭐ Respect
⭐ Character
⭐ Physical Fitness

Whether you are a Tiger, Little Dragon, youth student, teen, or adult student, every class attended is an investment in your future.

To help students stay motivated throughout the summer, we are excited to launch our Summer Attendance Challenge. This challenge is not about competing against other students. It is about making a commitment to yourself and staying consistent.

Students will earn recognition based on their summer training commitment:

🥉 Dedicated Recognition
🥈 Committed Recognition
🥇 Outstanding Recognition
🏆 Exceptional Recognition

We are also continuing our Summer Reading Challenge because strong leaders train both their bodies and their minds. Reading develops focus, confidence, communication skills, and leadership. Challenge information and reading logs are attached.

For our students representing Starworld at the 2026 World Tang Soo Do Championships, June also marks the start of our Legacy 30 Championship Training Program. These Friday morning training sessions are designed to help competitors develop championship-level skills, confidence, focus, and mindset as they prepare for Chicago.

Finally, be sure to watch this week's student video. It includes:

As you make plans this summer, remember:

Future leaders don't take summers off.

They continue learning.
They continue training.
They continue growing.

We look forward to seeing you on the training floor.

Tang Soo!
