WKTKD LIVE: Kicking for a Cause!
We are so excited and proud to bring two exciting events to our students at
WKim Tae Kwon Do-Nation:
Kicking for a Cause!!
We know that everyone has been working hard during our WKTKD LIVE online training. We want to continue to set goals for everyone and celebrate those achievements as a community!! As we continue to promote positivity and healthy habits within our W. Kim community, we wanted to take this opportunity to also contribute to the welfare of the community at large. We will therefore be holding our first virtual low belt testing and an online tournament for high belts! For both events, 100% of the proceeds will benefit a charity that is helping support workers and medical professionals fighting the Coronavirus pandemic! Below, you will find descriptions of both events, as well as the charities that may be awarded the donations, based on the results of the tournament!!
WKTKD LIVE Virtual Testing!!
We have been so proud of all our White through Brown belts, and how hard they have all been working to prepare for their promotion!! We will therefore be holding our first ever virtual testing in May! Registration for e-testing will be $10 (or more) per person, all of which will be part of the donations to charity! The specific charity will be determined by the tournament (see below). Keep working hard on those strikes and kicks!
WKTKD LIVE Virtual Tournament!!
Red belts and higher have been working diligently to refine and perfect their techniques. We want to continue to encourage the determination our students have shown, and are therefore holding our first virtual team competition!! Participating students will be split into teams, each of which will have a Coronavirus-related charity picked by the captains and co-captains. Each event is an opportunity to win points for your team; the team with the most points at the end of the tournament will have their charity receive the donations from BOTH testing and the tournament! Registration for the tournament will be $10 (or more) per person! Work hard, keep practicing TaeGuk 6 Jang and your most confident/favorite form, and we will see you there!
Below is a list of our teams and the charities they selected. The winning team’s charity will receive all the proceeds from both testing and the tournament!
