Many of our Instructors and students participated in the viral ALS Ice Bucket Challenges to raise awareness about the Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease.

Mr. Dominici is a 2nd Degree Black Belt and Level 3 Instructor here at Spicar's. He has been training with us for almost 6 years now and he would like to show you his 5 board Side Kick Break in the video below. Enjoy!

Miss Talia Flores recently earned her 1st Degree Senior Black Belt. Miss Flores started training with us, here in Southlake, on February 19, 2010. Currently enrolled in our Teen martial arts program, she is on her way to become a certified Level 1 Instructor by the end of summer.

Studies show that 64%-80% of professional dancers need to stop performing for extended periods due to Overuse Syndrome (OS). Although ballet and Tae Kwon Do seem to have similarities in muscle lengthening, the Tae Kwon Do injury rate is significantly lower.

Martial arts training can lead to a number of benefits for children, including a boost in confidence and self-esteem. Developing these traits proves valuable in teaching kids to take non-violent approaches to confronting bullies.

We continued our month long series of How to Become More Successful in Breaking Boards. Junior, Teen and Adult students had fun breaking larger boards then is required on their Belt Test and few have even dared to try break real concrete cinder blocks.

Girls worked with each other on scenarios when someone crosses their safe distance and learned that their voice is their biggest weapon and that they can use specific simple words to keep the stranger away.

We were having so much fun with our Beginner and Intermediate Junior students today! We called it an Action Packed Thursday. Boards were flying everywhere and students were having loads of fun when we were playing back their board breaking triumphs through a projector onto a 10 foot screen.

Big congratulations to our students who competed - Mr. Robert Sampson on his Spirit Medal, Miss Gaby Pulido on her 2nd Place Silver Medal in artistic forms and Mr. Surya Arakere on his 2nd Place Silver Medal in artistic forms.
