my 8 year old girl, and one of my 13 year old girls promoted to 5th gup, my other 13 year old girl, and my wife, promoted to 6th gup (they took a cycle off due to my 13 year old having a knee injury), and i promoted to 4th gup!
it was our first night in our new dojang, and was great. the test was about 3.5 hours long, and we had 55 students testing with 11 black belts judging. also had one student move up to cho dan bo. pics should be up on website this weekend @ www.emtsdkarate.com
our new dojang is HUGE. 6200 square feet of useable space, all with puzzle lock flooring (first time ive ever been on it). our old dojang was 2500 square feet useable area, and classes had to be split up 3 ways to accomodate everyone. right now i think we have 104 students. our new class schedule is 530 to 630 tuesdays and thursdays for children, and 630 to 800 for adults.
im also filling out the WTSDA instructor training papers right now, and was looking for feedback on this. we have always helped out with the beginners and childrens classes, and i think making it official now that im a brown belt is a good step, as this will now start counting toward the 100 hours of teaching time we need to promote to cho dan.
im stoked,
TANG SOO!
