There is still no class this Friday — but the make-up class will be on Friday, August 29th! Sorry about the confusion; I got ahead of myself when planning around the Interim weeks.

Here’s the correct breakdown:

• Next week (8/11–8/15) is a normal class week and the final official week of the session at the YMCA Allard Center — until we return in September.
• The following week (8/18–8/22) is Interim Week 1.
• Week after that (8/25–8/29) is Interim Week 2, with the make-up class happening on Friday the 29th.

Thanks for your patience, everyone!
Master Andy

Shirt Orders
The second batch of shirts should be in by this Wednesday or Thursday. I’ll be handing them out this week and next (or in a few weeks at the YMCA). Several of you still have balances due—no worries! You can settle up when you get your shirt(s).

No Class This Friday – 8/8/25
There will be no classes at the YMCA this Friday, August 8th. Nothing serious—just a family commitment I need to take care of. We’ll do a make-up class on Friday, 8/15/25.

---

Interim Schedule: 8/11–8/22
During Interim, there will be no classes at the YMCA, except for the make-up on 8/15.
Goffstown Parks & Rec classes will continue as usual, and YMCA students are welcome to join in!
Just keep in mind:

• Kids Class: 5:00–5:45 PM
• Adult Class: 7:30–8:30 PM

Summer Fun Day
Unfortunately, we won’t be able to pull it off this year.
But—I’ve got some other fun events in mind and will keep you posted!

Bulsajo TKD RedBubble Store
I’m excited to announce that I’m working on a Bulsajo TKD RedBubble Store!
We’ll have stickers, shirts, posters, and other fun swag. I’ll share the link once it’s ready!

This summer’s testing will be on the smaller side—which isn’t surprising, since many students take time off during the season. Also, due to the Goffstown Gallop happening on our usual testing Saturday, we’ll not be holding Saturday testing this time.

Instead, testing will begin this week, starting on Friday, June 28, and continue through next week—possibly even a bit beyond, depending on how things go. As always, testing will take place during regular class times.

Why start this Friday?
Because there will be no class on Friday, July 4th, we’re beginning a week early so that our Friday students don’t miss out.

Quick Recap:
✅ Testing starts Friday, June 28
❌ No class on Friday, July 4
📆 No Saturday testing (due to Goffstown Gallop)
🕒 Testing takes place during regular class times

Attention YMCA Students

This week is typically our interim break with no classes, but we will be holding makeup classes!

✅ Monday & Wednesday
Classes will run at their normal times and count as makeup sessions.

❌ Friday (June 20th):
No class. This was originally planned as a makeup for a May cancellation, but it will now be moved to Monday instead.

I apologize for any confusion and appreciate your understanding!

Bulsajo T-Shirt Update

Wondering where your new Bulsajo shirt is? You’re not alone—and good news: they should be ready soon!

There was a delay due to a missed communication and some packed schedules on both my end and our shirt vendor’s. I sincerely apologize for the wait on behalf of both of us. The order has been resubmitted (a couple of weeks ago), and now we’re just waiting for the shirts to arrive and get printed.

Thank you for your patience—I believe we’re in the home stretch!

***EDIT*** Not soon after I posted this and sent out the newsletter, I got a text that the shirts were done.

No Classes Tonight – Thursday, May 22nd

I’m still feeling very tired and wiped out, even though I’m starting to feel better. The past few weeks have been intense—between setting up, performing at, and tearing down the NH Renaissance Faire, working my regular jobs, and dealing with some wild weather, I think it’s all finally caught up with me… and I’m definitely feeling my age.

So, out of caution and the need for full recovery, I’m going to cancel tonight’s classes as well. My apologies for the short notice.

I truly appreciate your continued patience and support—it means a lot.

No Classes Tonight, Wednesday May 21st, 2025.

After a long couple of weeks, I find myself in need of some rest. I’m not sure if it’s just fatigue and allergies or the start of a cold—but either way, I believe it’s best to cancel classes today.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. My sincere apologies for the inconvenience.

Due to final setup for the Faire, Friday night YMCA classes are canceled.
Make-up classes will be offered during our interim break—or you’re welcome to schedule a make-up class with me directly.

Thank you for your understanding.

Testing Fees
There are still several students who have not yet submitted their testing fees from March. Please take a moment to check your own or your child’s testing sheet to see if it’s been marked “Paid.” Your help in getting any outstanding fees turned in as soon as possible is greatly appreciated—thank you!

T-Shirt Payments
T-shirt orders have been placed! If you haven’t paid yet, no rush—feel free to submit payment anytime. Regular shirts are $20 each, and performance shirts are $25. Thanks again for your support!

“Picture the Past!”
Don’t forget about the picture contest! The due date is this Friday (May 2nd) by midnight.
For information/instructions for the contest, please see the post below.

This week is Interim Week at the YMCA, which means no regular TaeKwonDo classes on Wednesday or Friday. However, we will have class tonight (Monday) as a make-up for a missed class earlier in the session. I hope to see you there!

Also, now is a great time to sign up for the next session if you haven’t already. Spots can fill up quickly, so don’t miss out!

Thank you all for your continued hard work and spirit!
Master Andy
