BST Bonfire Friday September 24 @7pm. With Hanmadang and Testing we’ve broken a lot of boards recently, and we want to use them to celebrate our most recent testers! So bring a change of clothes, some close-toed shoes, & a camp chair and join us for a bonfire out back after Rank Advancement Ceremony! Sign ups to bring S’mores supplies are by the check-in iPad! Hope to see you there!

Testing Info/Updates

Review Week (all 7 Tapes)

 Watch the youtube videos to view your requirements and come to class with questions!

Goal Check-in: How are your goals coming? Have you been successful so far? If not, what can you adjust to be more effective going forward? What’s getting in your way and solutions can you try?

For your Green Tape: to practice and pass off your green tape you need your free-sparring gear! For Green Belts and higher this means head gear & free-sparring boots as well as the gloves!

For your Black Tape: Remember that you need to do a Performance 25 for each of your required forms in order to get your black tape!  Watch the youtube videos to review & practice!

Sparring hours are 6 hours within the last 3 months at rank. Please know that sparring is a consistent requirement, so even if you don’t test you need to attend sparring regularly!
