This Week at Starworld Martial Arts AcademyDear Reader and family, The excitement is building as one of the biggest weeks of the summer is finally here! This week, many of our students will begin traveling to Chicago to compete in the World Tang Soo Do Association World Championships, while those training here at Starworld will enjoy Summer Treat Week, Buddy Week, and prepare for our upcoming Family Summer Training Week. There's something for everyone this week, and we hope you'll join us in making it a memorable one. 🏆 Good Luck to Our World Championship CompetitorsThis week, many of our Starworld students begin their journey to compete against martial artists from around the world at the World Tang Soo Do Association World Championships. To every competitor... Thank you for the countless hours you've spent practicing, improving, and preparing for this moment. Whether this is your first World Championship or you've competed before, remember that you already make us proud simply by representing Starworld with integrity, humility, and your very best effort. Compete with confidence. Compete with respect. Most importantly... Enjoy every moment. Your entire Starworld family is cheering you on! For those remaining here at home, don't worry—Starworld will continue on our normal class schedule all week and throughout the weekend. While our competitors represent us in Chicago, we'll continue training, enjoying Summer Treat Week and Buddy Week, and getting ready for Family Summer Training Week. We look forward to seeing everyone on the mat! 🌞 Summer Treat Week & Buddy WeekJuly 13–16Summer training is even better with friends...and frozen treats! Every student attending class this week will receive a cool summer treat after class while supplies last. It's also Buddy Week, making this the perfect opportunity to introduce a friend to martial arts. Invite a classmate, neighbor, cousin, or friend to experience a Starworld class. If your friend enrolls, YOU earn the opportunity to spin our Referral Prize Wheel and win Starworld Karate Dollars! Who knows... Your best friend could become your newest training partner. 👨👩👧 Family Summer Training WeekJuly 20–25Parents... Have you ever wondered what it feels like to stand where your child stands each week? Next week you'll have the opportunity to experience it firsthand. Join your child on the mat during our Monday and Wednesday 6:00 PM Family Classes. No martial arts experience is needed. Just wear comfortable clothes, bring a positive attitude, and be ready to laugh, learn, and create memories together. One class can help you better understand what your child experiences every week—and it's a lot of fun! We can't wait to share the mat with you. 💪 Character DevelopmentThis month's Character Development focus is Perseverance. Students are learning that success isn't determined by talent alone; it comes from consistently giving your best effort, even when something is difficult. Encourage your child this week by asking: "What is one thing you kept working on even when it was hard?"
These conversations help reinforce what students are learning on the mat and at home.
