Announcements
Hello BST Friends & Family!
This week is Kicking! Watch the youtube videos to preview your kicks and come to class with questions!
Board Breaking Class: Remember to bring your bag of beans this Wednesday and trim your nails so we can work on our spear hand strikes and chicken beaks!
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!
For your Green Tape: to 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!
We are doing sparring hours this testing cycle! Each student who is green belt or higher needs 6 sparring hours in order to test. While sparring is not required until green belt, it is a great skill to have and can be started at white belt, so if you’re interested in getting ahead, talk to the front desk to get started today!
Updated Calendar is Live! We added the online Leadership Class and moved the online Black Belt Class, so please check to make sure you have the right times!

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.
