Tien Lung Taekwon-Do

This summer, we had the opportunity to take some beautiful photos at the Muttart Conservatory! We kicked things off with our elite students and instructors who brought plenty of energy and great poses. We gotta say, they really turned out well!

This time, we also gained a new perspective! 🚁📸 Experimenting with drone shots gave us a whole new look and some cool photos!

A huge thank you to the Babiak family for helping make this photo shoot happen. We couldn’t have done it without you! ❤️

Our summer BBQ is back! 🎉

Thanks to the impact from last year's BBQ, we're hosting another event this year at Gold Bar Park on August 22 from 4 to 8 pm! Entry is FREE with lots of activities for you to enjoy including a silent auction, water ballon/gun fight, board breaking lessons, and more!

Proceeds raised during this BBQ will go towards supporting our athletes travelling to Newton's TKD Championships in Markham, Ontario this November.

Let us know if you'd like to get involved or donate to our silent auction!
