The event will include demonstrations of fighting techniques, form displays and block breaking by youth and adult Tae Kwon Do students as well as a demonstration by The Tiny Tigers, Blue Dragon’s youngest branch. Sifu Paul Francis, instructor of Tai Chi and Kung Fu, will also perform.
Master Tae Kwon Do Instructor Marshall Hale will complete a performance break of 13 concrete blocks with a single punch at the event. Hale has awed crowds with his performance breaks throughout his 30-year Tae Kwon Do career, tying an old personal record with last year’s 12-block punch.
The expo is free and opened to the public.
