Join Us at the Waverly Halloween Parade
Join us on Saturday, October 31st for the Waverly Halloween Parade! Master Tiffany will have a table set up in front of the studio, where we’ll be handing out hot chocolate and snacks to parade attendees.
In front of Tioga Tae Kwon Do
Table opens: 10:00 AM
Parade begins: 10:30 AM
We’d love to have our students come out and help Master Tiffany pass out treats and represent Tioga Tae Kwon Do in the community!
Sign-ups for donations are available on the office door. If you’re able to donate snacks, hot chocolate, cups, or other supplies, please sign up to help us make the event a success.
Students are also welcome to come help and or enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and snacks, too! It may be chilly, so students are welcome to wear their Halloween costumes, but please make sure they dress warmly underneath.
We hope to see lots of our Tioga Tae Kwon Do family there!
Annual Costume Night is Back!
Get ready for one of our favorite nights of the year! Our annual Costume Night will take place during regular classes on Tuesday, October 27th.
Students are welcome to wear their Halloween costumes to class! Instead of our usual class activities, we’ll be putting those costumes to the test with a fun obstacle course.

During regular class times
Come dressed in your Halloween costume!
Special Activity: Obstacle Course
Parents, have those cameras ready! This is typically the most adorable, and often the most comical, night of the year. We can’t wait to see what everyone comes dressed as! See you on the mats!
We Are Back to Full Uniforms During Classes
Summer is officially over, which means it’s time to put the T-shirts away during class and get back to wearing our full Tioga Tae Kwon Do uniforms!
Beginning now, students should arrive for class wearing their full TTKD uniform. This helps maintain a professional training environment and reinforces the discipline and traditions that are an important part of Tae Kwon Do.
But don’t worry, you don’t have to retire those awesome TTKD shirts just yet! Students are still encouraged to wear their TTKD T-shirts to school, around the community, or during Parents’ Night Out events.
Tuition Reminder
Please remember monthly tuition is due by the first class of the month. Tuition received after the 10th calendar day is subject to a $25 late fee. Payments can be made on the TTKD website or directly in your Kicksite account. If you don’t have an invoice on your account, please see Master Tom.
Other Classes
Black Belt Class
No Black Belt Classes in October or November
These classes are once a month and open to all black belt and provisional black belt students at no additional charge. This class focuses on advanced techniques, black belt forms, instructor training, and black belt philosophy.
Weapons Class
Wednesday, October 28th @ 7:15 pm
We’re excited to offer a monthly Weapons Class that is open to all students ranked Blue Belt and above—and the best part? There’s no additional charge to attend!
This class is a great opportunity to expand your martial arts skills, explore new techniques, and gain experience with traditional weapons in a safe and structured environment.
Have your own weapons? Feel free to bring them to class and practice with your personal equipment.
Don’t have weapons yet? No problem! We have nunchucks, Arnis sticks, and bo staffs available for students to borrow during the session.
Whether you’re just getting started or looking to sharpen your skills, we encourage all eligible students to take advantage of this fun and challenging class!
