Sparring Class

We will have our regular schedule, but bring your sparring gear every day from February 8th through March 5th to help prepare for the tournament. We will be using it at Master Song’s discretion.

Master Myung’ s 6th Invitational

Master Myung will host his 6th Invitational Tournament on Saturday, March 6th in the Glen Carbon/ Edwardsville, IL area. Master Song would like everyone to try and prepare for this tournament, applications are now available.
Participants will be broken up into divisions according to age, rank, and sex. Color belts may participate in breaking, free sparring, and forms. Black belts may compete in these three categories, as well as, in the weapons event. Since this tournament is so close to our testing, some participants may feel more comfortable competing with their old form. Please check with Master Song if you have questions.

Yearly Registration Fee

Yearly Registration fees are not all in yet. For some students we know this is something you have not dealt with since you first signed up for your Yellow Belt Program. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

The yearly registration fee of $50 does not apply to students who joined on or after October 31st, 2009.

It is necessary to have your tournament application turned in prior to attending a tournament breaking class. All tournament competitors are limited to two techniques; color belts may have up to three boards and black belt may use up to five boards. Blue belts and above should begin thinking about what techniques they would like to use. All other belts may request a technique(s) if they wish or Master Song will assign you one.
