We had a fantastic display of martial arts at our King of the Hill tournament in Johnson City, TN this past weekend. Our school took 37 competitors with a combined score of 158, and Johnson City brought 52 competitors with a combined score of 161. Although we did not win the tournament, our champions did a great job representing our students, our school, and our families. We all could not of been prouder of the display of martial arts prowess and sportsmanship our students displayed. Now it is time to reset our training goals, improve on our techniques, and prepare for our rank exams coming up in June. Please register for your Priority Rank Exam Registration today through May 31st. Late Exam Registration (Additional $10.00) is June 2nd-June 7th.

We will have the following merit badges available this training cycle:
Skillbuilder Merit Badge: The merit badge this cycle will have students practice their form 50x at home. Please pick up an A.L.L.Y. Program sheet at the front desk.

Character Builder Merit Badge:  Students will track their nutritional input everyday for six weeks, and indicate whether they consumed any junk food, if they ate any fruits and vegetables, and controlling portion sizes.
