First Monday of April and it looks like it will be a great one! Last Friday’s belt test was off the hook! Children really shined, whether it was showing traditional technique, or working those boxing skills, taking it all to another level. The teenagers were not to be outdone. Not only did they display some great individual techniques, but their ability to come together and work together was a showcase of how it should be done. Testing results are posted at the school, congratulations to everyone!

In a few weeks we have a children’s black belt test happening! April 16th is the big day! Plan to stop in and support these amazing kids as they go through the hardest test of their young lives. Makes for a genuinely exciting month!

Adults are not sitting idly by either. Some are working hard with completions coming up, and some are starting to nail techniques that a few short weeks ago seemed alien and strange. Such a talented group of people we have training.

That’s our big Monday update. Time to get to work, we don’t make gains by just talking about them.

Testing Times for this Friday – 4-1-2022

Please remember to ARRIVE EARLY. Once a test has started, late students may not be able to enter. This is a big test, so please be patient as we work through it!

Teenagers

If possible, teenagers should show at 5 pm to help with the children’s test. If not, then please show by 7 pm. The teenager test will begin immediately after the children’s tests end.

All teens should show for the test whether they are testing or not. Please support your teammates and plan to be there for the entire test. Due to the size of this test, please plan for a late night.

Thank you all for your support!
