On March 14, Master P's World Class Tae Kwon Do in West Chester closed its doors in an effort to help stop transmission of the COVID-19 virus. The martial arts school, which serves a student body of more than 300 children, adults and families in the Chester County area, immediately began planning a move to online instruction. Black belt instructors collaborated to create lesson plans, discussion topics and daily challenges to help students continue building their bodies, minds and hearts while staying safely in their homes.
On March 17, just three days after closing the physical location, Master P's World Class Tae Kwon Do launched the first day of the "Virtual Dojang." The program has been running ever since, and staff members plan to continue to do so until it is safe to hold normal classes once more.
Virtual classes are offered five days per week, and attendance averages more than 100 participants per class. Students can take physical training classes led by their instructors, listen to discussions about important life skills such as focus and responsibility, and continue to communicate with their Tae Kwon Do community through fun daily challenges.
The new online school encourages both students and staff members to be a "lighthouse," a helpful, shining beacon leading others through a difficult time, and to continue to contribute to a safe and peaceful community.
Master P's World Class Tae Kwon Do has been dedicated to giving back to the local community for more than 10 years. It has raised more than $60,000 for local elementary schools through its World Class Kids program and more than $95,000 for the Chester County Hospital through its Kicking for Miracles board-breaking events.
Master P's World Class Tae Kwon Do is located at 1502 West Chester Pike, West Chester. For more information, readers may visit http://www.chestercountymartialarts.com or http://www.facebook.com/MasterPTKD.
