Word of the Week:
Own It
“It’s your life. No excuses. No blaming others. Your choices are yours. Take charge. Own it.”
When we take ownership of our actions we also take control of our progress. The only way to grow is to be able to recognize what changes need to be made, and that only happens when we step back and honestly evaluate what we could have done better, regardless of fault. I challenge you to own EVERYTHING! Even when things are “not your fault,” there is always something you could do to make a situation better next time.

Poomsae Seminar June 13 from 9-noon. This 3 hour seminar is a great opportunity for anyone who needs to work on their poomsae (for Nationals, for 50 Challenges, for Color Belt Testing, etc.) The cost is $60. This is a steal of a deal, plus it will be right here at BST, so there is less travel time than going to Salt Lake! Register at the front desk today!
The video for the Black Belt Testing Meeting is online, and you can pick up your info packet at the front desk. A few notes:
- All Testing Candidates will need to have their eligibility interview completed by June 15th. We have new 100 Challenge booklets that are available at the front desk. You can have any old evals transferred to your new booklet, just talk to the front desk or any instructor.
- All Testing Candidates need 3 tournaments before January 2019. Nationals is available for Board Breaking and Open Forms, and BST offers the Wasatch Exhibition in October. If you need another tournament, please contact Master Sorenson ASAP!
Belt Jump Camp is June 18-22. This is an opportunity for students to get all the practice they need for their next belt in one week! Follow the link below for the schedule. Note: Current Red/Black Belts who do regular testing in June AND do Belt Jump Camp will be eligible to Black Belt Test in January 2019. Please talk to Master Sorenson if you are considering this option. ($275 for Basic students, $300 for Intermediate/Advanced students – this includes their sparring hours). Belt Jump Camp Schedule Here.
Summer Leadership Conference Approaching Fast! (Tuesday June 26 – Thursday June 28) This three-day overnight seminar is one of the most anticipated events of the year. We will of course work on leadership skills, from public speaking to classroom management, but we will also have a ton of fun, build lasting friendships, and make lots of hilarious memories! Price is $225. Parents are welcome to attend with their student as a chaperone. Contact Master Sorenson or Master Page with any questions.
We have a Youtube Channel! We have posted all of our current forms videos that you find on kicksite, as well as a variety of kicks and technique videos. There’s even a video of Board Breaking from our last Black Belt Testing! We will be posting technique, educational, and “just for fun” videos periodically. We hope you will get online and subscribe to get access to these new benefits!

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 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.
