Classes will meet on Sundays from Jan. 4 through March 22. The kinder group will meet from 2 to 2:45 pm. The junior class will follow from 3 to 4 pm and the adult group will end the day from 4:15 to 5:15 pm.
Classes are led by Levi Horsley, a first degree black in TKD; a black in Bando Ryu Karate and an assistant instructor for Muy Thai and Jeet Kune Do.
Space is limited and classes will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. For a registration form, click here: Tae Kwon Do
