KICKS Picture Day / March 7th & 8th

Join us for our annual picture day. Show off your kicks and Taekwondo poses for our school plaque and photos to share with your friends and family. Please come dressed in full uniform and looking your best. When you arrive, take some time to stretch so you can show your flexibility. Pictures are done by a photographer from LA Photo Press. He is not affiliated with KICKS. All packages for photos will be paid together with him.  Please sign-up early because times go quickly. There is a sign-up sheet in the lobby.
