2022 Taekwondo Recap

2022 Taekwondo Recap

Reflecting on the dynamic journey of 2022 in our Taekwondo community, it has truly been an extraordinary year! We are overjoyed to witness the return of familiar faces, as we transition from the challenges of pandemic mode. Having initiated online-only classes in March 2020, followed by a gradual reintroduction of in-person sessions in 2021, marked by the initial restriction of ten students per class, each maintaining proper distancing on the floor.

As the year progressed, we successfully expanded our class sizes, implementing strict protocols such as mandatory vaccinations and masks. The dawn of 2022 brought a significant milestone as we joyfully resumed regular classes, eliminating any restrictions on class size and offering the choice of wearing masks and receiving vaccinations as optional.

A noteworthy highlight was the reinstatement of our sparring class, the final piece in our journey to complete normalcy. Currently, this exhilarating class is back in full swing, allowing our members to engage in the thrilling practice of sparring once again.

In the grand tapestry of our ‘2022 Taekwondo Recap,’ the resilience and dedication of our community shine through. We’ve navigated through the uncertainties, adapting and evolving to ensure the well-being of our members. Here’s to the strength of our Taekwondo family and the promising path ahead!

We are still restricting visitors to the school: friends and family are required to wait outside except by appointment to observe a class. That’s our last pandemic restriction.

In 2022 the Competition Team was finally able to return to tournament sparring after more than two years of no events!

We’ve also returned to in-person testing and allowing friends and family to observe the tests again! It’s been great to see so many folks moving up in rank after many didn’t test during the pandemic. 2022 Taekwondo Recap2022 Taekwondo Recap
