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. That said, we still must be vigilant and take the hard lessons learned from this crisis to heart. At CHOSUN, we as a school and martial arts family persevered and are the better because of it… Life goes on and the summer schedule at CHOSUN with training opportunities for all near and far will be available! We continue to be grateful to all of our students and families for your ongoing support and encouragement!

Dear Martial Arts Enthusiast,
Welcome to the April 2021 edition and the 136th issue of the

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!

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!

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.
