Leadership: Beach Training
Our Leaders had a Productive and Fun Day at Rehoboth Beach this Saturday! Training began at 8 AM, before the Sun got too hot and the beach too crowded, and we learned how important balance training can be.
Basics, Forms and 1-Steps in the sand is Fun and adds a Great Challenge to our muscles. Check out the photos on our Eastern Shore Tang Soo Do Karate Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563170314067
Our Next Leadership Clinic will be Saturday August 16, following Belt Testing in Easton. Join us if you wish to find out more about our Leadership Program.
Black Belt is a White Belt who Never Gave Up!
Just Don’t Quit!
