This is a tournament open to all styles of martial arts that is conducted every year at Verona High school. I am proud to announce that our very own Madison West Dojang took 5 first place awards and placed in the top four in just about all other categories. There were thousands in attendance and roughly 600 competitors. I was not only proud of the fact that everyone did so well, but that Hwa Rang Do was so well represented at this tournament by good sportsmanship, honor and integrity. Job well done team!

Michael Boggs, Tim Garrow, Alex Martin and Jon Yelton completed the fourth segment of their Tae Soo Do black belt test on Saturday, December 15th at the East-side Madison dojang.<br /><br />Master Kijek awarded the students with their new rank of Tae Soo Do black belt. More importantly, along with this they achieved the rank of Hwa Rang Do yellow sash. This marks the beginning of their journey as Hwa Rang Do students symbolizing an even deeper level of commitment to their martial arts training.Webmastertag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4188469550522781486.post-34122900212873270072007-12-02T10:41:00.000-06:002007-12-02T10:45:58.359-06:00We've uploaded new pictures of the follow events:<br /><ul><li><a href="http://gallery.hwarangdowi.com/v/Seminars/20007seminar/">2007 World Tour Seminar with Chief Master Lee</a></li><li><a href="http://gallery.hwarangdowi.com/v/fampicnics/fp2007/">2007 Hwa Rang Do Family Picnic</a></li><li><a href="http://gallery.hwarangdowi.com/v/SpecialEvents/hparty2007/">2007 West Dojang Halloween Party</a> </li><li><a href="http://gallery.hwarangdowi.com/v/SpecialEvents/wexpo2007/">2007 Woman's Expo Demo</a></li></ul>Webmastertag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4188469550522781486.post-42144761901636531282007-01-31T11:07:00.000-06:002007-12-20T09:34:51.456-06:00This is just a reminder that all students (and parents of junior students) are encouraged to sign up on our e-mailing list.
