Students and parents that are interested in this year’s Summer Camp are encouraged to register as soon as possible. MuSool Academy can only fill 15 spots and Spring Break Camp had eight non-MuSool Students attend. Advertising will be going out to local schools this Friday. Please email Shelby Creech if your child is interested in the camp.

MuSool Black Belt Training


The MuSool Black Belt Board voted to host three MuSool Black Belt Trainings each year to maintain martial arts excellence at the academy.

May 7th at noon, MuSool Port Orange will host the first training. Current MuSool Black Belts that wish to move up in rank in December are encouraged to attend this training.

This is a joint discipline training meaning MuSool Black Belts from both Taekwondo and Hapkido may attend.

Black Belts will need running shoes, training outfit and doboks. There is no charge for this event.
