It is with a heavy heart that we announce Cornerstone Martial Arts and Leadership Academy (CMALA) has decided to step down from the Atlantic-Pacific Tang Soo Do Federation. As a result of this decision, the scheduled Break-a-thon for September 20th has been canceled, and the third annual board break-a-thon will not take place this year.

We are truly saddened to see Cornerstone Martial Arts leave our federation. Over the years, their dedication and enthusiasm have contributed greatly to our shared mission of empowering students and supporting at-risk youth through martial arts. The annual board breakathon, in particular, has been a highlight—bringing our community together and raising vital funds for scholarships and programs that make a real difference. 

While we are disappointed by the cancellation of this year’s event, we remain committed to our mission. We will be looking for new opportunities to invite other schools within the federation to host board breakathons, kickathons, or other creative fundraising events in the future. These events are not only a testament to the strength and discipline that martial arts fosters, but also a meaningful way to give back and support those in need.

We thank Cornerstone Martial Arts and Leadership Academy for their years of partnership and wish them continued success in their journey. To our community, stay tuned for updates on future events and ways you can continue to support the Atlantic-Pacific Tang Soo Do Foundation’s mission.

Together, we will keep breaking barriers and building a brighter future for all.

We are thrilled to announce that the 2025 International Championship Silent Auction was a tremendous success, raising more than $1,200 to support the Atlantic-Pacific Tang Soo Do Foundation’s mission!

This year’s auction was filled with excitement and friendly competition as participants bid on a variety of unique and meaningful items. One of the highlights was the opportunity to win a private class with several of our Masters. We are delighted to share that multiple Masters and instructors generously offered their time for 30- or 60-minute private Zoom lessons, and these experiences were highly sought after by our community. Congratulations to all the winning bidders who will soon enjoy personalized martial arts instruction from some of the best in our federation!

Another standout item was the beautiful coin display case, featuring metal coins from all previous championship events. This one-of-a-kind collector’s piece was handcrafted by none other than Master Harmon, adding even more significance and artistry to this special item. The display drew enthusiastic bids throughout the evening, and we are pleased to announce that Master Estrada was the proud winner of this remarkable display.

The success of this silent auction is a testament to the generosity and spirit of our community. Every dollar raised will go directly toward supporting scholarships and programs for at-risk youth, helping us continue to make a positive impact through martial arts.

Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and supported this year’s silent auction. Your involvement makes a real difference, and we look forward to even more exciting events and opportunities in the future!

Stay tuned for updates on upcoming fundraisers and ways you can continue to support the Atlantic-Pacific Tang Soo Do Foundation. Together, we are building a stronger, more empowered community—one bid at a time!
