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.
