Even if you aren't part of one of the families that attend the school, you are considered family. We have a very supportive environment, and push each other to excel. Even though our art does not focus on competition, our personal work towards excellence help us to be fierce competitors at invitation, regional, and world tourneys. Often placing in all sections and all ages/levels. We train, we spar, we learn, we have class outtings monthly just to hang out. Everyone is pretty even tempered, but still rowdy enough to go at it when it's time to put on the pads. We stick pretty close to curriculum, but as Tang Soo Do is open to other areas of training combat Hapkido and other self defense techniques are incorporated into training sessions.

What is a creativity team?

i think you may have given your school slightly high ratings under aliveness and striking instruction. this is based on the fact that you do not have a full contact fight team.

if you review what the various numbers are supposed to represent, you may want to change them

understood. Where would I go to edit those settings without creating another review score?

Creativity team - better known as a demo team
We previously did not participate in this area of regional competition, but now plan to stand on top regularly.

Interesting thing about us: If we break boards, we break the same as we do in tests. 1/2 inch, not easy snapping 1/4 boards and with multiple boards we rarely use spacers. ex. 3 board straight punch with no holding apparatus
