Facing Your Fears
In three months, I will, for the first time in my taekwondo life, participate in a test outside of my Roanoke comfort zone.

PARKING The owner of the new Barber Shop has asked that we please do our best to not park directly in front of his store as it gives off a false sense of business. We would like to be good neighbors so during the belt ceremony, please park by the MKB Realtor around the side or closer to Domino's or in the couple of spots not directly in front of his business and close to ours.
BELT CEREMONY SATURDAY FEBRUARY 8 AT 11:15 Our belt ceremony will be this Saturday February 8 at 11:15 (shortly after the Saturday class). Please make every effort to be there in your full white uniform and belt. We will be heading to lunch at .... -
