Belt Promotions

     August 13th is the cut-off date for the normal registration for Belt Promotions.  That means, it's getting very close!  If you didn't know, Belt Promotions serves as a way to showcase the training that students have done over the last two months of martial arts classes and gives them an amazing experience.  Our goal is to "pack the house" and make it so their forms performance is seen by over 100 people.  There very few activities that people can do that have such a crowd draw as martial arts testing. 

     Black Belt testing will consist of Forms, Weapons, some sparring, and some board breaking.  Recommended Black Belts will do the Yellow Belt form and Purple Belt form, spar, and break boards.  First Degrees will do the Bahng Mahng Ee Form (short stick), and first degree black belt form (called Shim Jun).  Second Degrees will do the Ssahng Nat Form (Kama), and Second Degree Black Belt form (called Jung Yul).  Third Degree Black Belts will do the Ssahng Nat Form (Kama), and Third Degree Black Belt form (called Chung San).  That testing will be on Friday August 26th from 5:30pm til ABOUT 7:30pm.

     Color Belt testing will consist of Forms and Board Breaking.  Those students have learned and worked to perfect two of the most challenging martial arts forms as color belts and will do some awesome board breaking, too.  That testing will be on Saturday August 27th from 10am til ABOUT 11am for White, Orange, and Yellow belts.  The Camo through Red Belt testing will be from 11:30am til ABOUT 1pm.

     ***Special note:  Since this cycle ties in with the beginning of the school year, make sure you get the training DVD or Manual that goes along with the new rank that you will achieve!
