Thank you to everyone who made the Summer Open another great success. We had a lot of great matches with even more competitors from off-Island this year.
A big thank you to everyone who helped out … referees, judges, timekeepers, etc. Without all of you volunteers, we would not be able to have this tournament.
Congratulations to the Provincial Association who ran the canteen and a number of fundraisers during the day. I understand that a generous amount was raised to benefit Taekwondo athletes here on PEI.
Once again, thank you.

In anticipation of the Summer Open in July, there will be a seminar on Saturday June 12, on the competition rules & regulations. The goal of the seminar is to prepare & educate competitors on ring positions, prohibited acts & penalities, legal scoring areas & permitted techniques and so on. This seminar will give everyone a better understanding of the rules for the sport aspect of Taekwondo and is open to all students and parents. Please sign up at the dojang or speak to your instructors.
The second part of the seminar is open to all provincial level of referees or participants who would like to be involved. It would be a refresher course of the competition rules & hand signals.
There is no charge for any part of the course. The seminar will be held from 12 pm to 2pm; students should be in their doboks & have paper & pen.
Just a reminder that the Family Classes are no longer on for Wednesday nights but will be returning in the Fall given the great interest in them this year.
Students can still come to the regular classes on Mondays and Thursdays as well as the regular Wednesday night class for higher belts.
Starting the week of May 31st, the Tuesday Teens/Adult class is shifting to Monday at 8:00. As mentioned above there will still be a high performance class on Wednesdays.
All other class times will remain the same. Please let me know if you have any questions.
This summer we will be having two camps:
