Holiday Break and More

It’s that time of year again! Holiday season is upon us and can you believe it, we are almost done with 2024! We know that things have been crazy as this year is coming to a close, and we hope that you can take this time to give yourself a much needed break. We know that us at Mueller’s Martial Arts certainly will be! But before we get there, we have some big things coming up and we want to give you advice on how to stay on track for taekwondo during this time of year.

Testing:

First things first- testing! We have color belt testing on Thursday, 12/12. This is our last testing of the year! We hope that you take the time with your kids to reflect on how far they have come this year. How many belts have they earned? How much have they improved in their technique? Most importantly, we hope you notice how much they have improved their life skills during their everyday lives. We’re sure they have become more confident, focused, and respectful. They set goals and achieved them, persevering when times were tough. They remained disciplined, showing their true dedication. 

Testing Celebration: 

After testing we have testing celebration on Friday, 12/13. This is the perfect chance for them to get together with their fellow martial artists and celebrate all they have accomplished this year! We’ll take the night to let off steam and enjoy with a fun night of dodgeball, pizza, cake, and a movie. Not to mention, parents get a night to themselves to do the same. This will be the perfect send off for holiday break!

Holiday Break:

Every year, we take a holiday break that is part of our scheduled school closures. This is an intentional break from taekwondo, but also the hustle and bustle of daily lives. It’s the chance to take a breath, relax, and spend time with loved ones over the holidays. Our bodies are biologically meant to take breaks, especially with the cold weather and end of the year. So use it! Take your much needed break and enjoy it. Slow down, eat good food, and take some time for yourself. That being said, we don’t want to completely go off track over the holidays. Martial artists should still stay active, practicing their taekwondo when they can! That way they are still in the spirit when they return to classes.

We are so thankful that you chose to spend 2024 with us! We wish you and your family a wonderful holiday. We’ll see you in 2025!– Your family at Mueller’s Martial Arts.
