We will be working toward earning our yellow stripe in classes this week. The yellow curriculum stripe is for contact skills. We will be focusing on the #1,2,3 round kick, and reverse elbow smash. Green belts and above will also be perfecting their harvest contact skill dependent upon their rank. Be sure to try to hit at least three training classes this week, as we are quickly approaching our next rank exam in February.

2.) Determine at least three key acts performed, and explain their significance to the history of Korea. 
3.) Explain why you believe the form was named after the person.
4.) One-Half Page minimum

 

The second merit badge will be a skill building merit badge. Students will have thirty seconds to complete a complex skill based on their rank at the end of each class, if the student misses one of the kicks they will be disqualified for that days class.
