We're Moving!
The Main School will be moving to the 3700 block of Hamilton Blvd in January.
Although we have enjoyed the Floyd school for the past four years, we feel it is time to move to a location nestled in a more residential neighborhood. Roughly 200 square feet larger than the current Main School, the new facility will allow us to serve families in our after-school program more efficiently.
The remodeling of the new school will begin October 1st, and we will need a lot of help in the renovation. Please volunteer your time to help us make our new home great. We plan to hold our first classes in the new location on January 3rd.

After-School Program
Registration for our After-School program has begun. We provide not only after school TKD and care for the children, but all-day care on teacher in-service days, school cancellations, and school holidays. We also provide early pick up when school is dismissed early because of bad weather.
See Ms. Nicole to get your child signed up today.

Sport Jujitsu Seminar
On September 18, 2010, we are pleased to offer a seminar to learn an exciting new form of competition for Martial Artists: Sport Jujitsu. Sport Jujitsu has three phases of scoring in a continuous fighting format; controlled-contact striking, throwing, and grappling.
The goal of this new competitive format is to provide equal opportunity for competitors from any martial arts background to succeed! Beyond dynamic competition, good sportsmanship, and competitor safety is the ability for competitors to compete with 100% focus on tournament day, then going back to school or work the next day. The seminar will be conducted by Sensei Lowell Slaven, Rokyu Dan Judo/Rokyu Dan Jujitsu, and Director of the United States Judo Association (USJA) Jujitsu program. Sensei Slaven will instruct both the fundamentals of the sport as well as how to referee matches.

First Black Belt Judo Promotion
We are proud to announce that the White Tiger’s Judo program has promoted its first student to the rank of shodan (first-degree black belt.)
On July 8, 2010, Mr. Karey Engle was promoted to shodan in Judo. Mr. Engle is the first person promoted to shodan by Senseis Johnny Tureaud, Greg Hansen, and Chaye Thompson.
Mr. Engle is also the first person promoted to shodan by the program since the death of Sensei Franklin "Frankie" Williams. Through this promotion, Mr. Engle was charged to continuously strive toward greater technical excellence, realization, and ultimate achievement of the goals of Judo, to promote increased awareness of Judo by others, and to exemplify the philosophy and discipline of Judo in every aspect of life.
