Testing!
Testing is right around the corner and will be the last week of the month, the week of September 28th, during normal class times. There will NOT be a Saturday testing this time, as that Saturday is already taken for an event at the Goffstown Parks & Rec.
For those who are new and/or don’t know how our testing normally works, we usually break testing into two parts:
Part One: Basics, combos, and self-defense
Part Two: Poomsae, sparring, and breaking
Normally, Part One is held during the week at your regular class times and locations, and Part Two is held on Saturday at the Goffstown Parks & Rec.
I’m going to make a change this time around. Since most of the students testing are Parks & Rec. students, we will do:
Part One — Tuesday, September 29th
Part Two — Thursday, October 1st
Both will be held at the Goffstown Parks & Rec. during our normal class times.
I would like to encourage any YMCA students who are eligible to test to come to the Parks & Rec. that week and test with everyone there. If you absolutely can’t, we’ll do your testing during your regular classes at the YMCA.
If you have received your Stripe Sheet (kids only), please get that back to me this week with your current rank, the rank you are testing for, and your belt size filled out.
Thank you!
Sparring Gear
Starting next month, if you do not have a cup and mouthpiece, you will NOT be allowed to spar.
In addition, if you have worn-out sparring gear and/or are missing any required gear, I would like you to replace it ASAP. This is for your safety as well as others.
If you need prices on equipment or would like to place an order, please speak to me before or after class.
Thank you!
Good Master, Bad Master!
Master Andy gets to thinking about how he can really test Master Jim… or maybe just play a little prank on him.
What happens next?
Well… just see for yourself.
