Korean Academy of Taekwondo Celebrates 25th Anniversary

The Korean Academy of Taekwondo is celebrating its 25th year of service to the city of Aurora, CO on Feb 12th, 2005.

(PRWEB) February 8, 2005 -- The Korean Academy of Taekwondo (KAT) will celebrate its 25th year of service to Aurora on February 12, 2005. The KAT was founded in February of 1980 by Grandmaster J.K. Chung. Grandmaster Chung is one of the worlds foremost martial artists. He served as a US national team coach and led the US to a near sweep in the 1987 Pan Am Games, winning 7 of 8 gold medals. He left the US to serve as head of security for the President of South Korea.

The school has led a storied existence with many state, national, and international champions at the junior and senior levels. We have been very active in the community, with our members donating tens of thousands of hours of community service. Developing future leaders has always been a priority of the school. Over the years we have trained thousands of students to be positive role models in the community. Our students have reached many areas of academic and professional success, including serving as police officers, professional athletes, business leaders, teachers, and doctors.

Come join the Korean Academy in celebrating our anniversary with a FREE BBQ and potluck at 2 pm on February 12th at the KAT headquarters. There will be demonstrations of the Korean martial art turned modern Olympic sport. Everyone who visits the school will receive a free DVD with clips from the school history as well as current footage showing students engaged in Olympic Style Sparring, Traditional Taekwondo, and Grappling for self defense.

Reaching its 25th anniversary is a milestone for any small business, and the KAT would like to express its deepest gratitude to the people of Aurora for their support. We could have never reached this point without the help of countless students, parents, and friends. The school continues to get stronger and looks forward to the next quarter-century of providing the benefits of martial arts to the city of Aurora.
