Last week Eva dropped off the donations she collected for Levine’s Children's Hospital. In her words, she was collecting them to help the children “feel less scared” while receiving medical treatment.

The 153 community, her friends, and family were amazingly generous, so she was able to collect a tremendous amount of donations

She also made many handmade cards to hand out to elderly nursing home residents to help them feel less lonely.

We are incredibly proud of the hard work she has put into the testing process and grow she has shown through this journey

Strength has no age. Growth has no limits.

There’s something special about adults who choose to keep growing.

In the middle of busy schedules, work, and everyday responsibilities, our adult members show up for themselves — building strength, sharpening their minds, challenging their limits, and becoming better with every class.

But what makes our adult class truly special goes beyond Taekwondo. It’s the encouragement, the shared challenges, the laughter, and the friendships that make every step of the journey meaningful.

At 153 Taekwondo, we don’t just train together. We grow together. We challenge each other. We celebrate each other. And we build a community where everyone belongs and everyone has room to become stronger.

To our amazing adult members — thank you for showing up, pushing forward, and inspiring others simply by being part of this journey. You make 153 what it is. And you should be proud of that.

Think you’re too busy, too old, or too much of a beginner to start? Think again.

Your journey can start at any age. All you need is the courage to take the first step.

Come experience the 153 difference. Your place on the mat might be waiting for you.

Black Belt Group Project

From 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM today, our 1st Group Black Belt Candidates — Micah, Kenneth, Jaxson, Eva & Oliver hosted a special group project to raise donations for the Alzheimer’s Association.

To make the day even more fun and memorable, the candidates hosted a Dunking Booth!
It was filled with laughter, excitement, teamwork, and, most importantly, a meaningful purpose.

A very special thank you to our Black Belt Candidates and all of their parents for their tremendous effort and support.
Preparing a group project like this is not always easy, but watching the candidates work together, build teamwork, take responsibility, and create wonderful memories made all the hard work worthwhile.

We are especially grateful to our parents for all the time, preparation, and dedication they put in behind the scenes. Your support makes these experiences possible and gives our candidates memories they will carry with them for a long time.

Earning a Black Belt is about much more than techniques and physical strength.
It is also about learning responsibility, leadership, teamwork, and the importance of giving back to our community.

We are very proud of all of you!

Wishing everyone a wonderful first weekend and Sunday of October.
Enjoy a beautiful and peaceful weekend, and we’ll see you all in class on Monday!

Thank you always for being part of the 153 family.

At the end of a long day,
one hour of yoga has a beautiful way of melting away
both physical fatigue and the weight on my mind.

With every breath and gentle movement,
I find my way back to myself.
A peaceful ending to a beautiful day. 🤍

Thank you, Ms. Kate,
for creating such a beautiful space to breathe, move, and simply be.
Your energy and guidance make every class feel truly special. ✨

Ending the day with gratitude, peace, and a little more light within. 🌙

Watching our students grow, graduating high school, entering college, finishing university,
and even returning to visit us from out of state, fills me with deep gratitude and pride as an instructor.

Mariem, who graduated from Davidson College and visited while preparing for her wedding out of state.
Ashlie & Ivy, who brought their best effort and bright smiles to every class.
Alex, who became one of 153’s top exemplary students and grew into an instructor.
Isaac, who earned his place at an Ivy League school.
And Kevin, who joined our demo team from Yellow Strip and led the team as captain until last year.

Kevin recently visited and shared that he is studying Biology to become a surgeon.
Seeing your dreams unfold, and watching all of our students chase their goals, means more than you know.

I truly believe each of you will become leaders who make this world a happier, better place.
And being able to witness your journey makes me a very happy instructor.

To all of our 153 students:
Your hard work and the lives you are building inspire me every day.
I will always be cheering for you. #153
