Due to Governor Cooper's executive order to close all gyms, fitness centers and similar businesses, we have decided that we not only have a responsibility as business owners to comply with the order, but we also need to do our part to keep our students and their families safe and healthy.  Therefore, beginning Wednesday, March 25th we will begin 100% online classes.  We hope that this suspension of in-person classes will only last a few weeks and during that time we want to provide our students with the tools and resources they need to continue training, as well as provide our parents with some activities that will help keep the kids productively busy.  We have already uploaded patterns/one-step classes for white, high-white, yellow and high-green belts and will be uploading the green and blue belt videos soon. We are also finishing up the sparring technique/three-step training videos for each belt rank as well.  These videos can be accessed through the Student Resources link above (if anyone is having difficulties accessing the Student Resources page, please let me know).  We will also be uploading a new training video each day that can be used by all ranks as well as some specialty videos like stretching.  In addition to the videos, we will be sending out daily activities that the kids can do like special coloring pages, word searches, etc.  I would also like to schedule either a FaceTime or Skype session with each student once per week for 30 minutes so that we can work on patterns, techniques, etc. and I can provide feedback.  I'll put together a calendar shortly for people to sign up for those days/times.

So, beginning on Wednesday, each morning (Monday - Saturday) I will post/email that day's training video and activity.  During the day, each student can participate with the daily video as well as the pattern/sparring video for their rank and then parents (students if you're over 18) can email me and let me know you completed it and I will give you class credit for that day.  We'll come up with some fun incentives to complete the activities and try to help keep the kids engaged during the day.  Once per week, we will have a private FaceTime/Skype lesson where I can provide feedback and keep everyone moving forward in their training.

We are still accepting new students and will facilitate online classes until such time as we are able to resume in person classes.  Please contact us by registering for your free trial classes at the link below or contact us directly at FamilyKicksTKD@gmail.com or 336-850-0142.
