Fun was had at Junnu's summer camp

Taekwondo and skills were practiced for a total of 10 workouts, and in between the activity was relaxed by going outside and playing in the gym. From the taekwondo athletes, a big thank you to the entire camp team, parents, instructors and the food court Corelli! This is good for continuing summer training.
