NORWALK FAMILY TAE KWON DO
Maria Boden is the head instructor of the school
which is under new ownership, Voorhees Tae Kwon Do
LLC, which offers programs for ages 5 through adults.
The classes are separated by rank (beginners and ad-
vanced) and students meet twice a week. Class meets
on Tuesdays and Thursdays, at Oviatt. Times will vary
depending on location due to school activities.
We also offer our Little Dragon program designed
for children ages 5 to 7. Little Dragons meet twice a
week. This program is run concurrently with the begin-
ning class.
All programs consist of hand and foot techniques,
forms, self-defense, lessons and instructions on topics
such as respect, self-discipline and perseverance. Co m-
petition is also available for those students who are in-
terested. Competition teaches sportsmanship, gives con-
fidence and allows the students to use the skilis they
have learned in class.
Families are strongly encouraged to join and train
together. We found that the kids learn better when one
or both of their parents/guardians are learning along-
side of them in class.
Cost per Session: Norwalk residents, Little Dragons/
Twice a Week $46, non-residents $53; Family Tae Kwon
Do (ages 8 and above), 1st Family Member $57.50, 2nd

Disclaimer: All defendants are innocent until
proven guilty in a court of law.

Martensdale, stated he did not know the area well and
was trying to catch up to a second vehicle that was far-
ther north on the same road. As Collins approached the
curve, he realized he was going too fast for the curve.
He attempted to steer into the curve, causing him to
begin to skid. He then over-corrected the steering and
lost control of the vehicle. He continued to skid, run-
ning off the road into the ditch. He was issued a citation
for failure to maintain control.
