Personal plug: If you want to support a good bunch of kids, the Colorado Taekwondo Institute is having their 12th Lee H. Park Team Championships/2nd Annual Hanmadung Tournament this Saturday at Alameda High School (the Conifer campus is part of CTI). Admission is free, but the Black Belt Club usually has a snack table set up and all purchases go toward the Black Belt Club's trip to Germany next summer! The competition begins at 7am with the Black Belt Events - High Kicking Contest, Team Staff Poomse, Team Poomse, and Board Breaking. My kids will be competing (ages 3 and 7), starting at 11:30, so come cheer them all on! :thumbsup:
