Hi Reader and Family,

Can you believe December is already here? Thanksgiving flew by, the holidays are right around the corner, and this is the time of year when traditions, routines, and personal growth matter most. We feel that deeply here, and we’re excited to head into this final month of 2025 with your family.

Before anything else—thank you.
Your trust means everything to us. Helping your child grow in discipline, confidence, and character is a responsibility we never take lightly. You’ll always get our best, every time your family steps into the studio.

⭐ December’s Character Focus (Tang Soo Do Attitude Requirements)

December is built to finish the year with clarity and purpose. Each week ties directly to our Tang Soo Do Attitude Requirements, helping students sharpen their habits and strengthen their mindset:

Week 1 – Consistency​
Showing up, keeping commitments, and building strong training routines.

Week 2 – Practice Basic Techniques All the Time​
Honoring the value of fundamentals—true martial artists never outgrow their basics.

Week 3 – Practice Techniques Already Learned​
Reinforcing muscle memory and sharpening focus through repetition.

Week 4 – When You Begin to Feel Idle, Try to Overcome It​
Taking initiative, avoiding excuses, and staying disciplined even during holiday distractions.

Week 5 – All-Out Effort​
Finishing 2025 with full commitment—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Expect weekly mat chats, worksheets, and drills that reinforce each theme at home and in class.

🔥 Important December Reminders

BELT TEST – Saturday, December 13th

This is a major milestone. Please check the event calendar for your child’s exact testing group and time. Make sure students arrive early, uniforms are clean, belts are tied correctly, and they are ready to perform with pride.

SPIRIT PREP TEST WEEKS (Dates on Calendar)

Spirit Prep Test Week isn’t about costumes — it’s about getting your child mentally dialed in for their next belt. When kids participate, they build excitement, sharpen their focus, and feel connected to their teammates who are also preparing for testing. This week gives students a major confidence boost that carries straight into their belt test.

Students who participate in Spirit Prep Test Weeks get a strong boost in momentum, team energy, and mental preparation that carries directly into their belt test. In Tang Soo Do, earning a new belt takes the right mindset, and Spirit Week is designed to build exactly that. It’s one of the most important weeks of training leading up to testing.

We’re More Than Simply A Martial Arts Academy

We teach excellent martial arts self-defense skills, but our purpose extends beyond kicks and blocks.
We’re developing Black Belt character, focus, leadership, confidence, and self-discipline, along with the social and emotional aspects. These are qualities that students will carry with them for the rest of their lives. We’re thankful you allow us to be part of your family’s journey.

Thank you for helping us build one of the strongest martial arts communities in our area. Together, we're building a community of strong, respectful, and goal-oriented students, and I truly appreciate your support in this journey.

Tang Soo!
