Dear Tae Kwon Do Parents,

As we wrap up the school year and begin our summer vacation I want to remind everyone to remain focused on your training. It is great to take vacations and spend quality family time but when you are in town keep your training consistent.

Web Site Update – We are happy to announce that you can now receive your testing requirements, Parent/Teacher testing forms, Tae Kwon Do tenets and much more on our web site. We can save paper and you can have the material at your finger tips 24 hours a day. Simply go to www.coronadotrainingcenter.com Once there – use the navigational bar to go to Tae Kwon Do and then drop down to testing requirements. You will need to use the password to gain entrance. Our password is CTCTKD (all Capitals) hit submit and you are in the protected area to view or print whatever you need.

Once we move upstairs we will be adding new classes for adults who want to get in shape but can’t make our evening classes or don’t want our traditional martial arts program. Those new classes will be added during the first week of July.

Hello CTC Family,

We hope everyone enjoys spring break. It is good to get some quality time away from our beautiful island and your normal routine. We want everyone to stay safe on their travels and don’t eat too much. But if you do we will help you get back on track.

We are working on the back end of our web site. That means within 30 days you will be able to punch in your password and be able to review items such as; Testing requirements, Tae Kwon Do Tenets, Opening and Closing class procedures, Parent/Teacher forms, Black Belt Club details and a few more items. This will eliminate paper waste and provide more convenience for our students.

We will also be arranging a form to fill out for testimonials and a date for video’s highlighting your experience with our program. If you would like to be part of this process and to be on our testimonial page on the web site please let me know! I always hear great things from parents and would appreciate it if you could share your kind words with potential students. We always appreciate referrals!!! Another way to be involved is to become a Fan on Facebook. Please visit our web site www.coronadotrainingcenter.com

Sincerely, Sa Bom Nim/Coach Dan

Hello CTC Family,

I have noticed more recently how general society needs to live by our Tae Kwon Do Tenets. We have people who smoke in front of our studio when kids are training – simple common courtesy would go a long way. We have top level business executives and politicians lacking any integrity by stealing from or misrepresenting the public. We have people demonstrating no self control by hurting or attacking innocent folks.

Happily, not all the news is bad. We witnessed some cases of incredible perseverance and indomitable spirit during the Winter Olympics. Athletes were able to overcome obstacles and injuries to achieve great results. I am very proud of the efforts of all the athletes, especially Team USA.

Please review our Tae Kwon Do Tenets (Definitions our kids understand)

Courtesy – Courteous behavior, considerate act or expression, being respectful
Integrity – The quality of being honest and fair
Perseverance – The quality that allows someone to continue trying to do something even though it is difficult
Self Control – Control over your feelings and/or actions
Indomitable Spirit – impossible to defeat or discourage. courage/strength/will

If more people lived by these tenets it would be a better world.

Sincerely, Sa Bom Nim/Coach Dan

Hello CTC Family,

Well 2010 is starting out with much success for many of our Tae Kwon Do students. We have had some big groups testing and a lot of family support. I’m quite pleased that grandparents were able to see their grandchildren perform our sport. Several families have visited from Chile, Sweden and many parts of the USA. Although Tae Kwon Do is the most practiced martial in the world it is still very foreign to many folks. They were quite pleased to watch and learn about Tae Kwon Do. I’m honored and pleased by the great feedback, from many family members, stating the positive effect Coronado Training Center and Tae Kwon Do has had on their child’s development.

Additionally, visiting family members have often mentioned they can’t believe the progress all our students have made. They appreciate my efforts and the atmosphere of our studio. Let me say, I appreciate the efforts of our students and their willingness to better themselves as martial artists and human beings. It is quite rewarding to see a child grow and develop. Over the last few years I have seen some young boys/girls start to become young men/women. I look at pictures when they were White Belts and stood up to my chest level but now they are Blue/Brown Belts and stand chin level or higher.

THANK YOU TO ALL MEMBERS OF OUR CORONADO TRAINING CENTER FAMILY

Sincerely, Sa Bom Nim/Coach Dan

Hello CTC Family,

We are very excited for 2010. We are creating a new brand, logo, marketing pieces and a heavy focus on internet marketing and social networks. Dani Marie Designs (Christian Richardson’s parents – a tae kwon do student) will use their expertise to keep us current and cutting edge. So please Fan Us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and You Tube. We would appreciate some reviews for our potential students’ families. As a novice to social networking I would appreciate the support. As Fans we can continue to build our family martial arts training center.

On Monday February 1, 2010 we will be slightly adjusting our schedule to help continue the growth of our Tae Kwon Do and Muay Thai programs. (Most students will be not be affected in any manner)

I am excited to announce a Level 4 Tae Kwon Do Class. As our students continue to earn higher ranks it is essential to add a level 4 class which will consist of our oldest and highest ranking students joining our adult class which will be moved to 6:00pm on Mon/Wed/Fri. We will notify students individually if they will be moving up. However, if there is a conflict in the new time please speak to Sa Bom Nim.

I’m starting to see Black Belts in the future. The reality is slowly coming together. Keep up the great training, focus and commitment.
