"Never forget : How far you've come. Everything you have gotten through. All the times you have pushed on even though you felt you couldn't. All the times you ...wanted to give up but you got through another day. Never forget how much strength you have learned and developed." Every September since 2010 a new season starts here at the New York Black Belt Center. Year 10 has proven to be quite a test for all of us. Has brought out the best and worst in people. I embrace BOTH, both of those aspects motivate me to succeed!!! Papa always taught me tough times don't last, tough people do. We will overcome and get strong together. #wolfpackfamily #10yearsstrong See more

With students beginning school (private schools next week & city schools the 18th for virtual and 21st for blended) get your children off the computer screen and have them practice at 11:00 AM for our All Belts/All Ages Taekwondo class. Spots will be available for in person (10) and ZOOM (unlimited) . I can't stress how important it is to keep these kids active physically. Building a strong body will give the children an even stronger immune system to fight anything. Who better than Master Joe to be your son or daughters gym teacher?????
