Word of the Week:

Ollin

“To move and act now with all your heart.” -Kevin Hall

Pronounced “All-in,” this ancient Aztec word is about being so committed that you can’t sit still – you have to act now in a big way toward accomplishing your goal. Don’t waste any time. Live at 100%!

Kicks Week

Summer Class Schedule here.

BST Grand Opening is THIS SATURDAY August 17th from 11am-4pm:

  • Variety of free classes, games, and activities.
  • Free Crafts in the Preschool/Afterschool Program
  • The first 100 people will receive a free T-shirt
  • Double referral rewards if your friends sign up that day

So put this fun event on your calendars now, and bring your friends! 

Please take care of our Toddler Room! If toys are not being respected, they will be removed. The stools are for sitting on, not for bowling, throwing, or stacking. When you are done with a toy, please clean it up so that the next person coming in will be able to have a fun time too. Our goal is to always leave a space cleaner and better cared for than when we arrived. If we all do that, our toys will stay nice for a long time, but if we forget, then the toys will go away. So please do your very best to take care of what we have so we can keep it! 

Check out Pics from the Black Belt Overnighter on Facebook! We walked over broken glass, broke arrows with our throats (12 &up) or palms (11 & under), meditated in the rain, and walked under a waterfall! It was so much fun & so empowering! Ask the Black Recs about their new beliefs and how they are choosing to be “Ollin” (pronounced All-In).

Afterschool Program Starts August 20, 2019! We provide school pickup, homework assistance, activities, and Taekwondo classes. Space is Limited. Register at the front desk today to reserve your spot!

 Performance Skills Seminar Saturday September 14th from 9-1pm. This seminar will cover multiple aspects of performance, from how to hold boards correctly to how to create a solid self defense sequence, to how to use music to your advantage. Cost is just $55 for all four hours! 

 2019 Annual Calendar is online!

 Poomsae Handbooks are available for purchase! This book has been the work of years of research and development, and we can promise you will not find anything like it anywhere else! Pick yours up at the front desk today for just $35!

 We are a NO PEANUTS Facility! We have a number of students who could go into anaphylactic shock if they even smell or touch peanuts, so we ask that you do not bring anything containing peanuts to the studio, and if you handle or eat nuts before you come, please wash your hands. Thank you for helping us keep each other safe!

The next PONA meeting is TBD

BST Carpool: Some parents have expressed interest in a carpool list. This list will allow parents to communicate with others about where they live and who they can connect with to carpool for Taekwondo classes and events. Please contact us at the email or phone number above if you are interested in getting your name on a carpool list. Please give us your name, city, and phone number.

PONA’s Facebook Group: We have a Facebook group called PONA (Parents of Ninjas Association). The following link is where BST parents can request access to the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BSTPONA/

Safety First - Look both ways before going out into parking lot!

There are lots of cars in the parking lot and lots of parents dropping off and picking up kids. Remember this when you are running out to your car and make sure it is safe before you step into the parking lot!

Bring a water bottle to classes!

We want to stay hydrated for peak performance, but leaving the mat to get drinks would use up too much class time. Come prepared with your own water so that we can re-hydrate and get back to learning as soon as possible!

We have a Bike Rack at BST!

Students who ride their bikes have a place to lock them up! Please make sure you do bring a bike lock, and remember to take bikes home each night. We don’t want bikes to go missing!

Parent Association – PONA (Parents of Ninjas Association)

Some parents have expressed an interest in creating a parent association here at BST. There is a letter explaining areas where parents can volunteer at the front desk, as well as sign ups posted in the hall. If you have any questions please contact Mr. Waterlyn. You can get his contact info at the front desk, or email us at Beyondsportsutah@gmail.com and we can forward it to you.

No shoes, eating, or non-water drinks on the mat please!

We have created a special training space in the studio  that is  reserved for practicing Taekwondo, and we need to remember to respect that space by taking care of it. Wearing shoes, eating food, and non-water drinks on the mat can damage it or at the very least get it dirty, which makes our studio less enjoyable to learn in. If you see someone who doesn’t know or who has forgotten these rules, please respectfully remind them that that food, non-water drinks, and shoes need to stay off the mat!

Remember to bow when you go on and off the mat.

This is a way we show respect to our environment. We are so blessed to have such a clean, big training area, and we need to make sure we are showing our gratitude.  

Remember to show respect by saying "Yes Ma'am/Sir"

A huge part of showing respect is simply acknowledging when someone has spoken to you. Please remember to use this skill when you’re here at BST, and you can even surprise your teachers and parents by using it outside the studio as well!”

Pushups are a consequence, not a punishment!

When students are late they miss part of the warm up, so they get to do pushups to make that up! Be on time so that you can warm up properly and avoid injury!

Note on Close Dates:

Many families go out of town for Holidays & 3 day weekends, which means that if we had class, many students would end up being behind when they got back. To mitigate this problem, we generally follow Alpine School District’s (ASD) Calendar and are closed when students don’t have school. We have worked these breaks into our curriculum schedule, so that students who attend our scheduled classes regularly will cover everything they need in order to test. We publish our close dates for the year in our Yearly Calendar. Please refer to it and plan as many vacations as possible during close dates to help keep interruptions on your path to Black Belt to a minimum.
