Ye Olde Renaissance Woman

September 21, 2010

demoYe Olde Renaissance Woman rises from the ashes of Ye Olde Font Shoppe. We are no longer publishing small press poetry books but if you're looking to do that email me and I'll recommend a new publisher. However, I moved to Tennessee and have decided to freelance the many skills I have accumulated over my years as a computer programmer, teacher, martial artist, crafter, and poet. Come back and see what I may have to offer you!

Moved to Tennessee

August 02, 2010

After fifteen years in Connecticut, my itchy feet told me it was time to move south again. The background picture at the top of the page and the pictures in these sidebar items are views from my street. I think I'll stay for awhile. At least another 15 years.

Our Adult class focuses on discipline, physical conditioning and motivation as well as traditional Tang Soo Do.

The first class is free!!

Class Schedule

6:30 pm

Teens and Adults

Weapons/Sparring/Extra Help Class

8:00 pm

 

With regards to class cancellations due to inclement weather.

  • If classes are cancelled I will Twitter and the message will appear in the Twitter feed to the left
  • If Greeneville or Greene County schools are cancelled and road conditions appear to be unsafe at around 5:00 p.m., chances are that junior and adult classes will be cancelled for that day.
  • If a storm happens late in the day but school wasn’t cancelled, karate classes are likely to be cancelled.

If a karate class is cancelled by your instructor for any reason, an additional day will be added to the end of the current session schedule. This prevents students from losing a class because of a storm.

Tang Soo Do Terminology

Here are some study guides and quizzes to help students learn the Korean terms needed in Tang Soo Do.
