Final Day for the MuSool Academy Karate Camp

What a thrilling week at MuSool Academy. The Dojang had nine brand new students that never done martial arts before enroll in the Spring Camp. They were accompanied by several MuSool Academy Students. The week was full of activities in the dojang, thrilling Taekwondo classes plus field trips to different parts around Port Orange.

Today, students will have an end of camp pizza party, a board breaking class, as well as two Taekwondo classes.

MuSool Academy is now getting ready for the Summer Karate Camp. Anyone that would like to be part of that event or camper’s that wish to enroll as students please see Shelby Creech or email him at creech@musool.org.
