Testing Notes and Important Dates…
We have a few things we wanted to share as reminders. First, there will be no Open Gym on Saturday, 2/21 or Saturday, 2/28. Testing for our advanced students (Blue, Red, and Brown Belts) is 2/21 and the Black Belt test is on 2/28. Everyone is encouraged to come and cheer these students on!
For students who are testing this weekend:
- Full uniforms are required
- Bring all of your sparring gear
- Hydrate well before the test and eat a good breakfast — but not too close to test time
- The test begins at 10 am — plan to arrive early to get a good warm up and go through your forms before the test starts. Arriving a half hour early is a good goal
- Junior students, make sure your permission slip is signed and turned in before the test
- Students testing for the next color belt or Brown Stripe belt, please make sure your test fee is paid before the test — Pay Advanced Belt Test Fee NOTE: There is no Test Fee for students testing for blue and red striped belts
We're looking forward to seeing a great demonstration of skills by all of our testing students over the next two weeks!

Our KICK-A-THON fundraiser to benefit Blood Cancer United is in full swing and there's still plenty of time to get involved. Students can buy a board for $3 at the front desk, raise money for the cause over the next couple of weeks, and break their boards at our big Kick-a-Thon Event on MONDAY, MARCH 2 at 5:30 pm (no regular classes that night). This is a great opportunity to help cancer victims and their families and have a great time doing it. For more information and donation links, visit our blog post or check with the front desk — we'd love to see you there.
