Where we learn to be sisters and brothers in the martial arts...

Essays: My point in telling my story is just this -- if it can happen to me -- it can happen to you. If you are discouraged, find training hard, difficult and have trouble seeing yourself at a significantly higher level -- just keep coming to class. There will be that day when you wake up and realize you have accomplished what you thought impossible -- and you will only be grateful that you spent the time and effort to get you to that point.... As Master Kim would say. Keep going, try hard. Put all your power, all your focus, all your energy, all your speed, and all your anger into your technique -- and you will do well. Erik Kluzek (Head-instructor on passing his 5th degree Master test -- something he did not think could happen)	Information on Classes Currently we have two different locations for our Classes Family Tae Kwon Do Classes -- Longmont UCAR Tae Kwon Do Classes -- Boulder General information on all classes (class format, dress code etc.) Map to classes Contact Information General information on all Classes Core Chung Do Kwan Values We teach the following values as well as teaching -- with these values... Effort: We put all our strength of body, mind and spirit in training. Courtesy: We show respect and kindness to each other. Patience: We understand that learning martial arts is difficult and we train patiently and show patience to others who are training. Silence: We put intense internal focus on our technique during training. Friendship: We show mutual friendship to our fellow students and instructors. We think of each other as our Tae Kwon Do family, with fellow students as brothers and sisters and instructors as respected parents. Humor: A martial arts class is a naturally intimidating environment. We diffuse some of the fear in that environment by training with fun, joy and humor. Our training is intensely serious but we also know how to laugh. Class Philosophy Class philosophy is to make classes, fun and exciting, but at the same time to learn a serious and difficult athletic skill. We make every effort to both help kids and adults to learn as much as possible and gain as much skill as possible, but also make it fun and interesting for them. Rank Advancement We are associated with Tae Kwon Do Chung Do Kwan schools and 9th degree black belt Grandmaster Kim, D.H. of Tucson Arizona as well as the Chung Do Kwan in Korea. Rank advancement is available, but requires additional fees for testing as well as annual membership fees to the organization (once the student attains the rank of yellow-belt). Rank Advancement, has set criteria and goals (including number of lessons and time in rank) and students need to meet those criteria before advancing. The curriculum is different for each belt rank, and students must successfully pass their test before advancing to the curriculum in the next rank. Sessions Classes are organized into sessions. The kids classes have sessions that are six to seven weeks long, and the adult classes have sessions that are ten to fourteen weeks long. Family-TKD classes have: Fall I, Fall II, Winter, Spring I, Spring II, and Summer sessions. While the adult classes have: Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer sessions. We also have a break in the spring that corresponds to spring break for St-Vrain Valley School district. For information on class policies for cancelling, make-up, holidays or the like see our policies page. Dress Code All students will wear a white traditional wrap-around uniform with belt. Students can purchase the uniform on their first day for $20.00. Until their uniform arrives they can use comfortable work-out clothing to train in. Ranking belts will wear the association patch and belt signifying their rank, without any other decorations. Students and parents should ensure that uniforms fit correctly and are kept clean.
