As announced in class there will be a few upcoming Tae Kwon Do events. If you are interested in attending the March events that involve travel, you will need to sign-up in advance so that appropriate transportation can be arranged.

First, thanks to those that voted on the facebook poll. We will go out to eat on Green Street as a club this Saturday (February 4th) after class to welcome several of the new students. The specific eating establishment will be chosen on Saturday. 

Also, our club has been invited to participate in Indiana University Don Burns Tae Kwon Do tournament on Saturday, March 4th. The tournament will start out with forms competitions: lower ranks progressing to higher ranks. After the forms, we will move onto the sparring competition in the same manner. Click here to sign-up for the IU Tournament.

Finally, this year’s black belt evaluation on the east coast is Saturday, March 18th. Senior belt Zlata Gvozdenoz will be evaluating so any additional TKD @ UIUCers that would like to go for support are more than welcome. Email me if you would like to attend and I can share our travel arrangements. More info can be found at http://damicotkd.org/events/

Look forward to seeing several of you in TKD class tonight!
