Ian Evans: They had a great Christmas spent with family. He still has some nerve damage that causes his eyes to be crossed. The doctors are hoping it will fix by itself, but there is no guarantee. He has a couple of doctors appointments this month to see how everything is healing. They could use some help getting Clayton (his older brother) to and from Black Belt Class on Tue. & Thurs. For anyone that would like to help or donate, talk to Master Sorenson.

We’re Hiring! We are looking for Preschool Teachers, After School Program Teachers, and a front desk manager. If you’re interested in making a difference in the lives of families and children, please give us a call at 801-796-0412.

Sign up to get reminder texts from us! Just text “@bstann” to the number “81010” to be added to the list. We send out quick last minute reminders for BST events, close dates, and due dates so you never miss out on important info!   

Parents, please check your child’s attendance regularly. As a general rule, if a student is at the studio during a class they are eligible to attend, they should be on the mat, but that is not always the case, nor are we able to know every child that is supposed to be in class. Thus, if your child is missing hours when they should have been at the studio then please have a discussion about (1) signing in to class, or (2) being in class when they should be. If this necessitates you coming into the studio and making sure your child signs in and enters the class, then please make arrangements for that to happen until they are able to do it on their own. We know that building habits and being disciplined are key, and we hope you will help us as we strive to teach our youth responsibility, consequences, and many other tools for success!

Preschool  for the 2021/2022 school year is in session! We are certified to accept state subsidies for child care for those who are eligible. We have AM, PM, and full day schedules available. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today! Call to schedule a free, no pressure tour, or Register for Preschool here!

Tired of hauling your gear to and from the studio, or worse, leaving it at home and getting to do pushups? If this sounds like you, then we have a solution! Big enough to hold your uniform, gloves, and sparring gear,  our on-site lockers can be rented for just $7.50/month or $60/year!
