Summer is on our doorstep, and while the pandemic is still raging in some parts of the world, it seems that our lives are getting back to some version of normalcy.

 Dear Martial Arts Enthusiast, 


Welcome to the April 2021 edition and the 136th issue of the 
Chosun Taekwondo Academy E-newsletter! Spring is the season of promise and new beginnings and never did we need it more after a long cold winter and the darkness of the pandemic. There are many hopeful signs that we might be able to get back to a NEW normal soon, but we are definitely not out of the woods yet. So we will remain vigilant and continue to show kindness and compassion for our fellow human beings on this journey!

Welcome to the March 2021 edition and the 136th issue of the

 It is hard to believe that we are beginning our fifth year at 60 Galloway Road this month. In some ways it feels like we are just getting started in our NEW location but in others, so much has transpired! From the global COVID-19 pandemic, to all the achievements of our dedicated students, we stand ready to face the future never giving up on our commitment to passing along the principles of Traditional Taekwondo Training.

 Dear Martial Arts Enthusiast, 


Welcome to the February 2021 edition and the 135th issue of the 
Chosun Taekwondo Academy e-newsletter! 
The global COVID-19 Pandemic is almost a year old and although we can never minimize the tragic consequences of this crisis, we have also discovered some unexpected silver linings... mainly in the area of outreach using the online ZOOM platform. In that effort, we have upgraded the online experience by enhancing the video and audio capabilities, thanks to some generous donations from several CHOSUN students. KAMSAHAMNIDA!!!
Read the latest issue of Totally Taekwondo Magazine to see how some of your fellow CHOSUN students have persevered through the last few trying months.
