August 17, 2020 - Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

Governor Cuomo announced today that gyms and fitness centers can reopen on August 24, 2020.



Camp and classes are starting Monday the 24th. Since classes are shortened all students are responsible for sit ups and push ups to be done at home each day! Periodically they will be checked on their strength training.

Masks are mandatory to enter the school. Read our full Covid-19 Guidelines here. Campers don’t forget a beach towel, wear socks, lunch/snacks, and drinks! Please see our updated FALL schedule.

Governor Cuomo announced today that he will be speaking about the reopening of gyms (which is what all martial art studios fall under) on Monday 8/17.



We have reached out to all local government authorities to check the status and regulations and we must remain closed for indoor activities for the moment. Our virtual one-on-one zoom lessons will continue as usual.



We are ready to re-open as soon as we get the go-ahead. We take the health & safety of our students and your family very seriously and look forward to seeing everyone soon!


Stay Safe, Stay Positive & Be Well

We have setup a separate page on our website explaining what we are doing to keep our students safe and new school guidelines when returning in Phase 4. Tentatively, Phase 4 is set on July 8, 2020. We plan on reopening and moving forward with our Summer Camp program. Please read all the details here.

We have been doing our remote Zoom private lessons from home! Great job to everyone who is participating and adjusting to using technology to practice Taekwondo. If you would like to schedule a Zoom lesson, please use the Remind App and send us a message! Time slots are on a first come first serve basis.

Remember these lessons are great to supplement you child's day with physical activity for gym/pe class.


During this unusual time we are facing, Martial Arts will help you improve mental health and boost the immune system. Setting small goals will reinforce positive behavior!


Stay safe and I will see you soon!

March 17, 2020 - Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

Yesterday the official decision has been made by the State of NY that all gym facilities, such as our own, must close for the safety of everyone and to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Due to these guidelines & restrictions, we will be closed for the next two weeks with a tentative re-open date of Monday, March 30th. As many of you know, this situation changes on a daily basis, we do not know exactly how long this will last but we will give you regular updates to keep our students and families informed.

We are developing resources, videos, photos and behind the scenes at-home fitness instructions on our Facebook page on how to practice Taekwondo and stay on top of your training. It is important to stay fit and keep self-motivated during this difficult time. Stay tuned for our virtual classes which can supplement your child's home-school routine!

We will be at the school today creating some training videos and developing curriculum. Throughout this process, we would like your input on what you would like to see and practice and we will make these videos for you. If we are to flatten the curve and practice social distancing, we can still be a family and support each other through positive online communication and sharing videos of what we're practicing at home. 

As we navigate these uncharted waters together, I appreciate your support. Just like with any obstacle, we will persevere and overcome this challenge together. 
We are here for you and your family!

Stay safe and I will see you soon!

At High Kick Taekwondo it is our promise to offer a healthy and safe space where you can train. With some of our local school districts being closed, we will try running a short week. We will be closed on Monday 3/16 and Wednesday 3/18. Classes will run a normal schedule on Tuesday and Thursday. Every day we will reassess the situation and adjust accordingly. Thank you again for all your support and understanding.

March 14, 2020 - Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

Due to Covid-19 concerns, going forward all classes will be modified to keep personal contact to a minimum. 
For the next few weeks we will not be performing self defense moves (which include hands on techniques), no dodgeball, and sparring classes are cancelled. 
All students are to keep hands to themselves and practicegoodhygiene. Please stay home if your not feeling well or coughing. 
Our goal is to keep our Taekwondo family involved but safe and healthy! If further limitations or class reductions are needed you will be notified ASAP! Thank you for your support and understanding at this difficult time!

March 10, 2020 - Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

While there have been NO confirmed cases in High Kick Taekwondo School, Sayville/Sachem School District or the Surrounding Communities at this time, we must be prepared and proactive.


Along with healthy habits, diet, exercise and proactive measures, together we can help keep our community stay strong. 


As we monitor news reports and school district recommendations, these are the steps we are taking:


• We clean all common areas including the bathroom, lobby, and practice room daily

• We wipe down equipment each day with sanitizing wipes

• We have hand sanitizer available in both the lobby & student lounge

• We will remind students & any class helpers to wash their hands 

• Students are requested to bring in their own reusable or disposable water bottle

• High-Fives as part of the positive reinforcement in our school, will be replaced with elbow taps

• Self-Defense and student contact will be limited

• Students who are feeling sick should stay home and do not send your child to school with a fever

• We will continually revise our plans to meet the needs of our students and families

• We will continue to provide up to date communications to our students and families



We also urge everyone to practice general flu and common cold prevention measures as recommended by the CDC :


• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue or sleeve

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds

• Avoid touching your face, nose, eyes, etc.

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick

• Stay home if you are feeling sick
