February 23, 2008 Updates

Hey everyone! To make sure every blog is read, I would like everyone to comment this blog after reading. This is to make sure that I know every parent is up to date with the classes. Therefore, any blog concerning a class your child(ren) are in, PLEASE comment it. The link is below the blog and you do not have to be a member. Just type your name and that you read. Some people may think that's silly, but these blogs hold crucial information. For me, this is easier then printing out a sheet each week and giving it to the students, and having the info never reach the parents. (I've seen this happen many times =P). Thanks!!

Drama - Classes are going great! I would like to know who has their costumes so far, who has questions, etc. PLEASE continue to practice lines and older students NEED to being scripts to class. For the Jonah play, I will have a list of props posted with instructions.

TKD - Testing is going to be March 7th, unless I decide we need another week for prep. Here is the procedure for testing:

Beginner class:
Warm ups
5 push-ups
5 sit-ups
5 squats
(Will have to count to 5 in Korean for each of those exercises)
Chun-Ji (Their form)

If passed, the students will advance to the next level, a yellow stripe. If they do not pass, then we will continue to work on the forms and I will test them when they are ready. IF students are only practicing on Fridays at class, they will probably not pass the test.

Advanced Class
Warm ups
10 push-ups
10 sit-ups
10 squats
(Will have to count to 10 in Korean for each of those exercises)
Yellow belts: Do San
Green stripes: Wan Yo
Green Stripes will have to break 1 board with Snap Kick. You have to break the board to pass the testing.

Parents and friends are welcome to attend the testing. The testing itself will probably take half of class or less. So once it is over, I would like to work with the students on some techniques.

MY BLACKBELT testing is Feb 26th and 28th. Students are welcome to attend. Tuesday is forms and Thursday is breaking and promotion. All students at my school will be testing. The gym is located in Murrells Inlet on 17 bypass across of the Inlet Square Mall in a strip mall with a salon and eye care clinic.
