Korean Academy of Taekwondo Celebrates 25th Anniversary
The Korean Academy of Taekwondo is celebrating its 25th year of service to the city of Aurora, CO on Feb 12th, 2005.
(PRWEB) February 8, 2005 -- The Korean Academy of Taekwondo (KAT) will
celebrate its 25th year of service to Aurora on February 12, 2005. The KAT was
founded in February of 1980 by Grandmaster J.K. Chung. Grandmaster Chung is one
of the world’s foremost martial artists. He served as a US national team coach
and led the US to a near sweep in the 1987 Pan Am Games, winning 7 of 8 gold
medals. He left the US to serve as head of security for the President of South
Korea.
The school has led a storied existence with many state, national,
and international champions at the junior and senior levels. We have been very
active in the community, with our members donating tens of thousands of hours of
community service. Developing future leaders has always been a priority of the
school. Over the years we have trained thousands of students to be positive role
models in the community. Our students have reached many areas of academic and
professional success, including serving as police officers, professional
athletes, business leaders, teachers, and doctors.
Come join the Korean
Academy in celebrating our anniversary with a FREE BBQ and potluck at 2 pm on
February 12th at the KAT headquarters. There will be demonstrations of the
Korean martial art turned modern Olympic sport. Everyone who visits the school
will receive a free DVD with clips from the school history as well as current
footage showing students engaged in Olympic Style Sparring, Traditional
Taekwondo, and Grappling for self defense.
Reaching its 25th anniversary
is a milestone for any small business, and the KAT would like to express its
deepest gratitude to the people of Aurora for their support. We could have never
reached this point without the help of countless students, parents, and friends.
The school continues to get stronger and looks forward to the next
quarter-century of providing the benefits of martial arts to the city of
Aurora.
