Monday!
It’s our last full week of training before winter break—class schedule stays the same!
Next week: We’ll hold classes on Monday and Tuesday as the Kent School District begins its break. If your holiday plans aren’t too packed, come train with us—we’ll work off some of that extra energy before the new year!
Let’s make the most of our time and finish the year strong!
Last test of the year went off without a hitch!
While traditionally a smaller test, it was great to see such a strong showing to close out the year. Testing results are posted in the entryway!
Winter break is coming!
We’ll have a calendar out this week to help with your holiday planning. Remember: all classes can be made up—either before the holiday or anytime after, even if you’d prefer to wait until summer.
Happy Holidays!

Once a test has started, late students will not be allowed to enter. With so many participants, punctuality is crucial to keeping everything running smoothly. We appreciate your patience as we work through the requirements. While we strive to make the process efficient, the sheer number of testers often leads to late nights, especially for teens.
Children (Test according to their current rank / belt color)
White, Sr. White Belts, Yellow and Sr. Yellow belts — 5 pm
Orange, Green, Sr. Green, Blue, Sr. Blue, and Brown — 5:25 pm
Teenagers
If possible, teenagers should arrive at 5:00 PM to assist with the children’s test. If that’s not feasible, please arrive no later than 6:00 PM. The teenagers’ test will begin immediately after the children’s test concludes.
Once again, teens must be present no later than 6:00 PM. All teens are expected to attend the test, whether they are participating or not. Please support your teammates and plan to stay for the entire duration of the test.
Thank you all for your dedication and support!
Final reminder: testing applications are due today for children and teens.
Testing will take place on Friday.
Testing times will be posted by tomorrow afternoon (Thursday). Please check online or stop by the school for the information.
