Valley View Taekwon-Do

It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of our dear Mrs. Athena Larsen.

Mrs. Larsen made a lasting impact on everyone she touched within our school, and for many of us, she is also a dear friend. She was not only a dedicated martial artist, but a loving mother and an extraordinary person, both in and out of the dojang.

She embodied the true spirit of Taekwon-Do, with inner strength, a tirelessly positive outlook, and a selfless, kind heart. One of her dreams was to earn her black belt and teach others, and she achieved both. She shared her knowledge generously, offering deeper insight through her medical expertise and her lived experience.

Even those who did not know her personally will feel her influence through the students she inspired. What she gave to one person will be passed to another, and in that way, she will always remain in our hearts and a part of our school.

There will be no class today in observance of the New Year. Wishing everyone a happy New Year!

Gen. CHOI HONG HI explains | Front kick | middle and low | (APCHA BUSIGI) - the position of the foot determines whether it is a kick or a front rising block with the ball of the foot. | #taekwondo #itftaekwondo #choihonghi #apchabusigi #frontkick #middle #low #block #risingblock #apkumchi #pztkd #tkdlive #seminar #continousimprovement #do

Failure is not failing. Failure is when you quit.

Due to illness there will be no class tonight. Thank you students and parents.

The YMCA is closed due to weather conditions. There will be no class today. See you hopefully on Thursday!

Congratulations to Mr. Walling, the very first Valley View Taekwon-Do produced black belt! Mr. Walling joined in 2019 and never quit practicing, not even through the pandemic!

Mr. Young has also promoted to 4th degree black belt, and looks forward to how his growth will support the school and further the education of Valley View Taekwon-Do students!

Congratulations are also in order for 17 students who made a new color belt. Great job everyone!!

Thank you to Sr. Master Mason, students, and families for these great photos.

Students and parents, it's finally happening. Get your Valley View swag here! Pick up from Mr. Young once all the orders are processed.
