1st Annual Outdoor Testing & Potluck!
July 1st 2017 at the Goffstown Parks &Rec.
Bulsajo TKD is happy to be holding its first ever Outdoor Testing and potluck! Scheduled for July 1st at the Goffstown Parks & Rec. at our normal testing time 10am to finish. The only difference this time around will be that all students will test together – i.e. children and adults.
Testing will start promptly at 10am so students should plan on being there by 9:45am at the latest. We will make an exception to the full dobok rule this testing as we will be outside. So to be clear: dobok pants, belt and Bulsajo TKD t-shirt or a Plain t-shirt is allowed. Please be sure to bring water and a sweat towel. Sunblock is also a good idea.
We will be putting together a potluck list for our students and families to sign up on. Grills will be on this list. So if you have an easily portable grill and don’t mind manning it for the day, we will greatly appreciate that!
After testing and lunch we will hold a water balloon battle! If you wish to participate please be sure to bring a change of clothes (do not wear dobok) and a towel. After the battle there will be a mandatory clean up with all participants helping to clean up the broken balloons.
If the weather does not work with us we shall move testing inside. This will of course stop our water balloon battle but hopefully should not interfere with lunch.

Light Saber Seminar!
Want to learn Stage Combat? Want to do it with Light Sabers?! Well then, this seminar is for you!
Granite State Saber Academy will be holding an “Introduction to Stage Combat Seminar” on June 17th and another on July 22nd. The seminar will be held from 1pm to 5pm. Participants will learn the basics of striking and blocking with a sword, simple footwork, how to piece together combat choreography, how to enhance the fight with simple acting techniques, and you’ll have the opportunity to perform your fight in front of the class.
This seminar is for ages 15 and up and is $50 per person.
The Granite State Saber Academy (GSSA) is a NH based theatrical/stage combat school which combines martial arts, various weapon styles, theater/acting, and exercise to give you a unique and entertaining experience, all while providing a healthier lifestyle through fitness and education.
The classes are designed to be as much of an option for exercise and martial arts as it is for stage combat, all while having fun with a group of like-minded people.

Parks & Rec. Rain Day location
The Goffstown Parks & Recreation holds a summer camp every year and it starts this month on June 26th. What this means for us during rainy days is that we move our classes to an alternate location. Please check on our FaceBook and main site for updates on rainy days. This only applies to Parks & Rec childrens classes. Here is the information on our alternate site:
- Village Chapel Baptist Church
- 15 Twin Bridge Road
- Weare NH
A big thank you to the Drury family for helping to find us an alternate location. Another big thank you to the Village Chapel Baptist Church for continuing to allow us to use their space.
Summer Uniforms / Workout Wear
Summer is here and many of us would like to stay a bit more cool when training. This summer Bulsajo TKD will allow shorts to be worn with a Bulsajo t-shirt or plain t-shirt in class. Shorts must be knee length shorts. Belts should still be worn with the shorts and t-shirt. Please, No Tank Tops.
Summer Doboks can still be purchased for $30 during the summer only.
