Minneapolis Dojang's 9th Anniversary Party
When: Saturday June 19th from 6pm until......
late ^^
This year marks the 9th year that Chief Instructor Dylan Sirny began
teaching Hwa Rang Do in the Twin Cities area. There has been a lot
of growth in our program since the humble beginnings as a club to
the full time intensity of our school plus our two affiliated clubs.
And, while we have said this before, the martial art we practice
is a wonderful and very unique system, I am always a believer that
it is you the people who practice this art and strive toward its
important ideals that make what we do as a community truly special.
There is always so much to do in life and while there is a lot of
positive, we all also deal with many kinds of distractions. So with
all of the um/yang - the good, the bad, and the in-between - I thank
and commend all of you who are committed to the sincere path of
self-improvement, self-empowerment, and self-respect within the
framework of our martial art. I hope you all gain real strength
and the dignity of a Hwarang - a Flowering Knight!
Please help bring some food or other item to contribute to the pot-luck.
And remember, there will be the FULL ROCK BAND setup for everyone
to jam on. Bring your family & friends, the party is always
a blast.
Memorial Day Special Extended through the
month of June
As a special thank you to all US military service
members, the World Hwa Rang Do Association is offering a country
wide special - 50% OFF on tuition on all introductory programs for
