Good Afternoon,
It’s here, RANK EXAM WEEK ! Regular Classes Monday thru Friday this week!
We have a week every two months where our schedule is adjusted to
hold our testing. That week will be this Saturday thru next Tuesay.
TESTING DETAILS
UNIFORMS: Uniform cannot be rolled up and must be hemmed to fit correctly! No Wrinkles!!!
EXPECTATIONS: We just want 100% you! Be focused, answer loud, run fast and give it all you got!
WHAT IF I DO NOT PASS MY TEST? It would be easy to pass all of our
students at testing but then your rank would be meaningless! Students
who do not pass will re-test in 2 months at our next exam. Due to not
passing, there will be no fee for your next test. There are no refunds
for not passing. Just like no one can win every football game, soccer
match or spelling bee, no one should expect to pass every TaeKwonDo
exam. Not passing simply means the judging panel thinks you need two
more months to refine some of the elements of your training. Of course
getting a re-test is disappointing! But, if you get a re-test, accept
the judging panel’s decision that you need more time to mature in that
rank and commit yourself (not your parents or instructor) to work harder
to be ready for the next test. We are committed to helping you obtain
your goals! Be glad that your instructors care enough about you to help
you reach your full potential.
Parents, we are so thankful for you
referring your friends to the academy. We are opening up registration
for the fall/back to school season. Make sure to let your friends know
when they call that you are sending/referring them. We will be starting a referral program for back to school.
Just have them name drop your name.
