Pictures are Up!

Hello everyone!

In the last couple of weeks we had pictures taken of most of the classes and we would love to share them with the community today! All pictures are on Master Lim’s Google Photos drive and are accessible here.

I still need to get in and photograph the adult black belt class, it’s just been really busy in the evenings with work but I’ll make it in by mid July.

Hope you all enjoy the pictures!

Training During Covid-19

A Note From Lim’s Taekwondo:

2020 was one of the most challenging years in recent memory. We want to express our gratitude to all of our students and parents for bearing with us throughout such a challenging year filled with sickness, uncertainty, and so much sadness. Our hearts go out to everyone who was negatively affected by this terrible disease; and we offer our most heartfelt prayers to those who lost loved ones. We must never forget about the love and lessons that our departed ones taught us and we must hold and cherish their memories dearly.

For those who are here, we must also continue to practice the tenets of Taekwondo, and apply them to our everyday life, especially during these times. Remember that all practitioners of Taekwodno must be courteous to others and always act with integrity, perseverance, self-control, and display an indomitable spirit. Working together we can hopefully continue to fight Covid-19 and reduce the impact that it has on our community.

Despite such a hard year, we have had some good news and many happy events to be thankful for. First and foremost, we want to welcome all of those new students to our Taekwondo family. We are so happy that despite the challenges of 2020 and 2021 that you were able to find us and join our programs. For all of the students that have stayed with us, we kindly thank you for your patronage and we are very happy to have you all be members of our family and community. Our dojang has been a great place to grow friendships and provide each other with community support and we are very proud of all our students.

We are very excited to begin offering more in person opportunities to train and we will also be continuing testing and other celebrations as more of our students get fully vaccinated. Please stay tuned as the website will be updated more frequently and we’ll have more Taekwondo related resources be made available online.

Sending you all a warm virtual hug,

Grandmaster Chris Lim

March 31st Belt Testing

Every 4 months Grandmaster Lim has promotion tests for his students. It is a time for all of his students to show off their hard earned skills in front of their friends, family, and peers. Beginning in December of 2017, Grandmaster Lim decided to also share the testing experience with anyone who wanted to take a peek. It is our pleasure to present you with the first 2018 testing video for the promotion on March 31st. We hope you enjoy!

New Website

Hello and welcome to the first post of our redesigned website! Bringing in 2018 we want to move the Dojang into a more digital space and hence we wanted to redesign our online experience to give more value to our students and followers. Along with our new website, we will be testing various different services. What you can expect:

1. Online Payments
   • We are happy to announce that we will begin processing payments very soon. We just need to test our systems before allowing students and parents to pay for monthly tuition, monthly and one time contracts, uniforms, jackets, and equipment
   • We will also be testing charging testing fees online if we have good traction with the new payment system.
2. Online Event Registration and Updated Calendar
   • We want to make it easy to remember what events are coming up. Whether it is belt testing, upcoming parties, or cancelled classes, we want everyone to have easy access to the Dojang's schedule. We will also be experimenting with allowing users to download and bookmark classes directly to their own calendars from our site.
3. Classpass Integration
   • Classpass will be another method that adults will be able to use to drop into our morning boot camp classes. Users of Classpass will be able to reserve spots online through our website or through the Classpass system prior to attending our class.
4. New Email Newsletters
   • Staying in touch with the community is something we know we can improve on. We will be doing our best to get out our newsletter on a timely manner. What kind of schedule would work best for you? Let us know in the comments below!
5. Improved Photo Sharing Online
   • Sharing the accomplishments of our students is something that we feel very strongly about. Students work very hard to refine their athleticism and martial art skills and we understand that family members want to share those accomplishments with family, friends, and other loved ones. For this reason we will be working with professional photographers and online sharing techniques to ensure that those attending belt promotion events will get the best photo of the students enrolled in the class while staying attentive to the testing.
6. Suggestions?
   • We want to work better with every member of our community. If you have suggestions or recommendations on what we could do better, please let us know!
