CaRMAA Tournament Results

GFTKD — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:15:28 +0000

Congratulations to twenty-six of our fellow students who competed in the forks and breaking CaRMAA tournament in East Greenbush on Saturday, November 7th. Each represented their school in great fashion, winning or not. Thanks to all of you the local food pantry benefited greatly due to all of your contributions. The friendships forged during these events help bond fellow students together within our school and within the CaRMAA group as a whole. We all had a great time and gained valuable experiences for future events. If you missed this opportunity and want to compete in forms or sparring, look forward to February 6th at Hudson Valley Community College for the AAU Regional Qualifier.

Results of The Great Car Wash

GFTKD — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 01:21:02 +0000

Glens Falls Tae Kwon Do’s car wash was a rousing success, raising $400 for The Open Door Mission in Hudson Falls.

Kids splashed, splattered and scrubbed their way around over 50 cars and even a tractor trailer.

Thank you to the sign makers, sign holders (all of whom dodged the traffic successfully), the car washers (who didn’t manage to dodge the soap and water), the food makers, and all the people who jumped in to do other jobs.

As you can see by the photos, a good time was had by all! This was a great demonstration of Glens Falls Tae Kwon Do’s commitment to giving back to the community while providing a fun experience for kids.
