Practitioner Testing (P1 - P5)
November 9, 2024 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
P1 to P5 Adult Testing Is Open for Enrollment!
-
Do not register for double rank testing
-
Testing fees are nonrefundable
-
In the event of illness or injury, you may transfer your registration to the next scheduled testing. No other transfers will be allowed.
Be sure to review your curriculum and ask instructors if you have any questions!
Registration Deadline - Friday, Nov 2nd
No late registrations accepted. Why? Two reasons:
-
Planning for testing is incredibly involved and requires a great deal of advance prep work.
-
Last minute registrations compromise the testing.
If you are still unsure about testing by the deadline date - it's time to make a decision. Take that bold step. Ask for feedback from instructors prior to the test about your readiness, or just pony-up and challenge your fears!

It’s our first annual Ugly Sweater Christmas!

Please keep the following in mind when choosing your ugly sweater:
-
There have been some CRAZY ugly sweaters out there, so while wearing your sweater, you MUST be able to:
-
Freely move
-
See clearly
-
-
You and your sweater should not “drip” anything.. (I don’t know.. Just trying to cover bases here..)
-
Keep it PG-13!
We’ll run our normal Striking, Kids, and Adult classes on the 18th. After the Adult class (7:30 pm) we’ll fire up the grill and have some burgers and hot dogs!
