I hope everyone had a wonderfull and relaxing summer but the time has come to get back to work. Our Fall Tae Kwon DO classes will begin on Tuesday, September 4th. For the most part the class schedule will be the same as last spring, with the exception of changes in the adult class times. Also please note the minor pricing variations for the 1,3 and 6 month payment plans which will help our bookkeeping greatly.

Promotion tests are very special events. In karate, belt rank is a recognition of progress. When a student starts, s/he holds a white belt rank. Passing promotion tests allow promotion to the next rank The screening process is careful to select those participants who possess the necessary skills to pass the test. The order of rank is: white, yellow, green, purple, brown and black.

We will be having our Tae Kwon Do mid-summer promotion test at Mission Martial Arts Studio Sunday June 24th at 2:00pm.

The Mission Martial Arts Academy is proud to offer one of the most popular martial arts practiced today at our Henry Street Studio. We welcome Soca and his students to our school as they are here to provide the highest quality of education available.
