TIFFIN DRAGONS

WHAT IS TAILOR MADE SWAGG? Tailor Made Swagg began in the fall of 2011 when four students that included Elisha Owens and Sheldon James, decided to start an organization that was based on fashion and how important it was for students to feel comfortable wearing whatever they wanted.

Where: Heminger Center When: Tuesday 5 to 6 p.m.

Thursday 5 to 6 p.m.

Saturday 12 to 2 p.m.

“In the process of establishing this organization,” Owens explained, “we chose Professor Nicholas J. Reinhard as our advisor because he is well-known and respected with a great fashion sense.”

Whether you are a total beginner or a seasoned expert, you are welcome!

Please, no bare feet or sandals.

According to Owens, the basic goal of TMS is to give students an opportunity to express their feelings in clothing as well as learn how to dress for every occasion from meeting the President to going to a casual cocktail event.

Styles and skills include: Shotokan Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Uechi Ryu Karate, Brazilian and Japa-

“We also encourage students to believe that with a little hard work and passion, you can achieve greatness. The Red Carpet event is an opportunity for students, faculty, staff and Tiffin residents can enjoy. We are an organization of free choice and we do not exclude anyone from any of our events, meetings or programs,” he said.

nese Jui-Jitsu, Judo, Aikido, Wu Shu, Kobudo (including nunchaku, staff, tonfa, knife throwing, manrikiguisari, kama, sai), Kickboxing, Escrima, and much more.
