From the global COVID-19 pandemic, to all the achievements of our dedicated students, we stand ready to face the future never giving up on our commitment to passing along the principles of Traditional Taekwondo Training.

 Dear Martial Arts Enthusiast, 

Welcome to the February 2021 edition and the 135th issue of the 
Chosun Taekwondo Academy e-newsletter! 
The global COVID-19 Pandemic is almost a year old and although we can never minimize the tragic consequences of this crisis, we have also discovered some unexpected silver linings... mainly in the area of outreach using the online ZOOM platform. In that effort, we have upgraded the online experience by enhancing the video and audio capabilities, thanks to some generous donations from several CHOSUN students. KAMSAHAMNIDA!!!
Read the latest issue of Totally Taekwondo Magazine to see how some of your fellow CHOSUN students have persevered through the last few trying months.

The Chosun e-newsletter Archive Volume 12 #1 January 2021

 

Dear Martial Arts Enthusiast,  Welcome to the January 2021 edition and the 134th issue of the  Chosun Taekwondo Academy e-newsletter!  So many thoughts come to mind in summing up the year 2020... for many it was a year of devastation and tragic loss, some found new opportunities but every person on earth was effected in some way by a force of nature that we were woefully unprepared for. But here we are, still fighting an invisible foe, now with more weapons to help us, and as they say, a light at the end of the tunnel. We are indeed living through a crisis. Although the word crisis, connotes an unstable or crucial time, it also implies a turning point containing the seeds of hope and transformation.  The words on our Zen calendar page for December seem to capture the essence of the moment: Surrender to what is. Let go of what was. Have faith in what will be. ONWARD AND UPWARD...NEVER GIVE UP!

The Chosun e-newsletter Archive Volume 11 #12 December 2020

 Dear Martial Arts Enthusiast, 

As 2020 comes to a close, it is safe to say that it is a year no one will forget. But a global pandemic does not adhere to a calendar and although hope is on the horizon, we have a distance to go. Our CHOSUN community remains strong due in no small part to the underlying tenets of taekwondo that infuse our martial arts practice with rectitude.  
COURTESY   INTEGRITY   PERSERVANCE   SELF-CONTROL   INDOMITABLE SPIRIT 
Writing about lessons learned from the pandemic, Pope Francis commented,
"To come out of this crisis better, we have to recover the knowledge that as a people we have a shared destination. The pandemic has reminded us that no one is saved alone. What ties us to one another is what we commonly call solidarity."

We owe a debt of gratitude to all health care and essential workers. The burden of this crisis and the sacrifice they have endured will never be forgotten!

Dear Martial Arts Enthusiast, 

Welcome to the May 2020 edition and the 126th issue of the
Chosun Taekwondo Academy e-newsletter!
CHOSUN is well into the seventh week of live-streaming classes... something that we never could have predicted we would be doing on a full time basis... but here we are and hopefully rising to the challenges that this particular moment in human history presents.
We are eternally grateful to all of our loyal and dedicated students. At the very least, as martial artists, we are putting the five tenets of taekwondo into practice every day!
ONWARD AND UPWARD...NEVER GIVE UP!

The Chosun e-newsletter Archive Volume 11 #4 April, 2020

Dear Martial Arts Enthusiast, 

Welcome to the April 2020 edition and the 125th issue of the
Chosun Taekwondo Academy e-newsletter! 

It is difficult to overstate what a difference a month makes! Life at CHOSUN has changed in ways we never thought imaginable. Just one day before the New York state mandate, on March 16th, in a direct response to the escalation of the impending COVID-19 health crisis, CHOSUN temporarily closed its doors. The next day, with the help of our IT developer, Mark Damia of Walling Road Design, CHOSUN was up and running for Live-Stream classes on the Zoom platform. The classes have been well attended and students are enthusiastic to train! We miss our students and instructors dearly and will open the dojang doors the minute we can.This unprecedented situation effects all of us but together we will persevere with indomitable spirit... We are martial artists!
NEVER GIVE UP!

Happy Easter and Passover
