Core Taekwondo: San Mateo Martial Arts School

Congrats to our newest color belts!

Progress is not about being perfect. It is about continuing to show up, practicing hard, learning from mistakes, and doing a little better than last time.

We are proud of your effort, perseverance, and growth.

We’re honored to be part of The Work of Generations: A Portrait of Family Business in San Mateo, a documentary series highlighting six multi-generational, family-run businesses in our community. Through portraits and short stories, it captures the people, values, and stories passed down through generations that help shape San Mateo’s everyday life.

This exhibition is part of A Community Gathering Across Generations:

Saturday, April 25, 2026
10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
San Mateo Public Library – Main Branch
Free and open to the public

Generations Day marks the beginning of the library’s twentieth anniversary year, with music, storytelling, food, and activities for all ages.

If you’d like to view the exhibition, it is currently on display on the first floor of the library through May 3.

We came home from the Santa Cruz Open with 3 Gold, 4 Silver, and 2 Bronze.

Improvement happens through steady, consistent practice. Let’s keep working hard and continue growing.

Congratulations to our small but mighty team!
