Special Events

Special Events

It's not all drills and exercise regimes at DTKD! There's always something fun on the horizon – Ninja Nights and holiday “lock-ins,” pizza parties and pot-luck family events. Though it's not always just “fun and games,” we also host a variety of competitions, tournaments, and other competitive events to give students opportunities to show off how hard they have been working on their martial arts, as well as a multitude of specialized clinics to hone those skills outside of regular classes. Just about every month you'll find something exciting happening at DTKD!

Board Breaking

Board Breaking

Just like receiving a black-belt, students who start taekwondo all want to break boards! At Desoto Taekwondo, students achieving sufficient rank and success get to do just that; in fact, it's a requirement before receiving certain belts! With dedication and focus, discipline and 100% effort, advanced students become board-breakers, showing off their practiced skills at testings, clinics, and with persistence and dedication, one day as black-belt assistant teachers themselves.
