Happy Hump Day!
We are coming up on our beginning of summer promotional testings. This is
the time students are "tested" for their strength during end of school,
change of routine and vision for their personal future in taekwondo. I am
very happy with all students have made it a priority to regularly attend
their training, I salute their parents for being diligent and staying in
touch through school conflicts, vacations and the like. I am looking
forward to seeing most of the students working thru their nerves and
celebrating their accomplishments over the next week. A few of our
students have already tested early to accommodate their travels.
Regular classes tonight thru next Wednesday (except for Thursday June 12
for Father's Day workout, see below). Testings are scheduled for June 19
(white-blue) and Saturday (June 21 - brown-black), unless another
arrangement has been made through conversation directly with SM Black.
Deadline to register/pay for your testings is Monday, June 16.
Due to the difficulty of learning the long staff, I have decided to extend
working on this weapon until the end of July to give all students a great
chance to learn the basics of this awesome protech weapon. Our next weapon
will be single and double BME. Individual training will begin as earned
and the whole school will convert to this weapon as of the beginning of
August thru October testings.
Our Super Hero Boot Camp starts on Monday morning. We have had a few late
registrants, there is still time to participate fully or for just a few
days. Don't miss out, talk with SM Black asap. Campers, please bring your
own lunch, wear a red or blue t-shirt with your white or black pants and
belt, bring your gear bags, combat weapon (if you have one). On Wednesday
of camp week, you can bring a buddy to join you for only $20 for the whole
day. Think now, WHO CAN I INVITE, and yes it could be one of our students
that are not currently attending camp. On Buddy Day, we will also have a
"water gun" outdoor activity at sister city park!
LAST NOTE: FATHER'S DAY WORKOUT AND DINNER (Thursday, June 12)
All evening classes are cancelled so we can take time out to honor our
dads, grandpas - (mom, if you weren't able to attend the Mother's Day
event, join us on Thursday night). Event starts at 5:30 pm. Adults wear
sweats, kids normal t-shirt night attire is great. I will have a lite
dinner of pulled pork sandwiches with a few sides. If anyone wants to
supply an additional appetizer, very welcome.
Thursday noon class, we will have regular adult noon class on June 12 and
June 19 (the campers will be outdoors during this time). I hope to add a
Tuesday noon class soon. So far I have heard from 3 adults who will
commit to attending each week. I will keep you posted.
