Attention Orange Belts

As an orange belt, please be aware that one of the requirements to be able to test for your blue belt is that you have to be sparring in class. Thus, you need safety gear. Minimum sparring equipment consists of head, hand and foot gear along with a mouthpiece. Shin guards are also highly recommended. One of the benefits of joining the Black Belt Club is that you receive all of this safety equipment along with much, much more in your Black Belt Club package. If you have received an invitation to join the Black Belt Club, but you have not made an appointment to discuss joining with Mr. Taylor yet, please simply contact the school office. It is at least worth talking about. We look forward to hearing from you.

This is a great time for students and parents to ask questions concerning the Black Belt testing process. All Ik-Kyus are encouraged to attend. You may attend any of the meetings at either location. Parents of Ik-Kyu students also need to attend. The same material will be covered at all three meetings. If you have previously attended a meeting, and would like to attend again, you are certainly welcome to.

       Broad St. Meetings                     Business Campus Dr. Meetings

Summer Pizza Tickets

Starting June 1st, every time a Junior or Kinder Karate student attends class they will receive a ticket. This will go on until the end of July. You will need to save your tickets. Lost tickets will not be replaced. If you attend class an average of twice per week, then by the end of July you should have 16 or more tickets. Once you have at least 16 tickets, you may come sign up for a pizza party, which will be held in the Fall. This party is free and is intended to be a fun reward for keeping up your attendance during the Summer months. Again, lost tickets will not be replaced, it is your responsibility to keep track of them. It is also not fair to others for anyone to give tickets to another student, or to use tickets from a previous year.

*You must be an enrolled student in order to attend the pizza party in the Fall. This means if you are a Summer Program Student, and you do not continue with the program at the end of July, you will not be able to attend this party.
