Jordan broke his arm three weeks before the December 22nd Black Belt test.
Jordan participated in and completed many of the requirements of the test on the 22nd.

he was not able to complete the test.

Students and Parents,

Our school is a member of AOMA (American Open Martial Arts). AOMA is an organization that is now 12 months old. AOMA has over 5000 members in 14 states. Our school is a member of AOMA because of the benefits offered to the school and to each student. For the school we receive liability insurance, discount on merchandise, etc. The students receive the opportunity to participate in AOMA tournaments (we ran four events in GA in 2011, including the AOMA National Championships. Next tournament is March 10), accident insurance at those tournaments and insurance for accidents that might occur during practice. This year everyone associated with our school, athletes, coaches and officials, will register for the membership online. The cost of the annual AOMA membership is $14 each. You will pay through Paypal and will instantly receive your AOMA membership via email that you supply when registering.

In order for the insurance benefits to be in effect each of us must register. Please register during the month of December so that all our insurance will be in effect beginning January 1, 2012 so that there is no lapse in coverage. Online registration is available now and will only take a few moments of your time (there is no paper registration available).

Sparring Class Schedule
Starting September 15, Thursday Night's Sparring Class will
be divided into two separate classes. All nine and under students will spar from 5:30PM to 6:00PM.
All 10 year old and up students will attend sparring class from 6:00PM to 7:00PM.

We are excited that some of our younger and newer students have expressed an interest in particpating in sparring class.
In order to give them the attention they need, and to keep the more advanced students from being held back as we work with those newer students, we are dividing the sparring class. If your child has expressed an interest in sparring, please join us.
