It is going to be another great week of training at Tiger-Rock. Our goal for this week is for all students to get their white stripe (life skills) by Friday. Please remember that we will not have classes this Saturday (06/21) for our Black Belt Camp at Fall Creek Falls. We will be focusing on sparring counters this week in our intermediate and advanced classes. Our beginners will be focusing on the #1 side kick/reverse punch and one step sparring.

Black Belt Camp is this Saturday. Black belt camp is open for all ages that are Juniors, Teens, or Adult Red Belt Level 3's. All participants must be registered by this Friday, and the cost is $50.00. Be sure to pack sunscreen, towels, change of clothes, bathing suits, snacks, tents (if you have one), sleeping bags, pillows, water bottles, and any other camping related items.

We will have the following merit badges available this training cycle:
Skillbuilder Merit Badge:Students must balance while throwing a side kick that is at least waist level for a minimum of 45 seconds. Students cannot bounce, wobble, wiggle, or drop their kick below the waist in order to earn their merit badge.

Character Builder Merit Badge: Community Service. Students must perform five hours of community service. Please remember community is defined as "the area I live in. I choose to be a productive part of my community by practicing the tenets outside the academy." Students should document the time helping others, neighbors, church, etc., and have the appropriate adult sign off on the number of hours (not parents).

Academic Learning Stars: Please be sure to get your academic teachers to fill our your Partners-in-learning forms so you can earn your academic stars. Forms can be found at the front desk.

 Our Ninja Warrior Agility Course is coming up on June 28th. This was a huge event last summer, and will be even a bigger event this summer. Come compete in our ninja warrior course, and win prizes. Tiger Cubs: 1:30p.m., Juniors 2:30p.m., Teens and Adults 3:30p.m. Cost is $10.00.
