KAMI BUSHI KAI FOCUS APRIL TESTING Please check the test list on the bulletin boards to see if you’re testing this month. If you are, you will test at the following times: Little Dragons – will test during their class on Tuesday & Wednesday, 4/27/10 & 4/28/2010. Children-- White belt thru Yellow belt with 1 blue stripe, Saturday, 4/17/10, 3:00 p.m. Children— Yellow belt with 2 blue stripes and above, Saturday, 04/17/10, 4:00 p.m. Adults & Teens all ranks – Saturday, 04/24/10, 3:00 p.m. • If you miss testing you will automatically be moved to next month’s test list. Test times are based on your CURRENT rank, not what you are testing for. Requirements and reading material needed to achieve your Black Belt: • Three tournaments and three seminars • Children : The book “Karate-Do” • Teens & Adults: The books “Karate-Do”, “Art of War” and “Book of Five Rings” Please remember Seminars & Tournaments are a yearly event. So it’s best to get the required ones behind you as soon as possible and very beneficial to do more than minimum requirements. Please Note: You can be taken off the test list AFTER it is posted if you do not have enough attendance OR if the Sensei’s do not think you are ready. SPECIAL ITEM OF THE MONTH The special item of the month for April is Century Square Hand Targets. Regularly sells for 24.99 but for the month of April will be on sale for 19.99. All BBC Discounts will apply. CHILD BBC FUNCTION The Child Black Belt Club Function will be Saturday, April 3rd at 3:00 p.m. The function will focus on Ground Techniques. Please sign up on the pro-shop counter if you will be attending. ATTENTION ALL PARENTS Please hold talking to a minimum in the viewing area and in the coffee area while class is in progress. It is very distracting to the students taking class and to parents observing their children taking class. Please feel free to take conversations outside. Please make sure all cell phones are turned off or put on silent. Thanks for your cooperation. BUDDY DAY On Saturday April 10th we will be having a Buddy Day.
