Say Hey Poke Mani Pah Duh Seyo! (Happy New Year in Korean), Gong Hey Fat Choi (In Chinese)! This is the year of the White Tiger and it is going to be a very active year at our schools. Here is a Lion dance performed by my new friends the New York United Lion and Dragon Dance Troupe. This is an amazing Lion dance they danced on poles ranging from three feet to six, at one point the head of the lion was almost twenty feet in the air.
SITE UPDATES
We have many exciting additions to our website presence. In January we started our digital newsletter and we are on our second edition. We have updated this site and added and made easier the videos and navigation.
In the upcoming weeks we will be adding many videos all of which will be accessible from this site.
We now have online interactive Quizzes for each rank. Click on ‘Testing quizzes and forms” on the right column.
One of the great new features coming up next month is when you get your promotional testing form back it will have links to videos to help you improve. For example if during the test you had a problem with a particular technique you will get a link to a video that will detail that technique.
ONLINE INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS
Also we have instructional videos that we will be adding regularly. The first is Ki Gong which are our special health breathing exercises so far there is 30 minutes of video instruction on this topic. You can view these videos here

This year we will also have a trip to Atlantis Aquarium where camper can (if they wish) swim with tropical fish in a large tank with hidden treasure and friendly aquatic friends (this is designed for the kids). Space is VERY limited and half the camp is already filled up so if you are interested act fast. Last year we had to turn a few people away because the waited to long. We promise an affordable, fun and educational summer for your child. Camp is only $29 a day (four hours) not including trip costs. The camp is a six week camp and extended care is available for an additional fee. Siblings (brothers and sisters only) are half price.
