SCHEDULE CHANGES.

Starting Monday August 3rd, we will be rolling out some changes to the Children's Class Schedule.  There are a couple of reasons for this, the main being to elliminate overlapping kids classes.  This will enable us to ensure that the most instructors will be available and our attention is focused on one class at a time. There will be more class times and options (including a Saturday class for BASIC, CORE, and EXTREME)

Please watch the short video below for a full explanation of the schedule changes:

TEST CHANGES - NO MORE TEST FEES

About a year ago, we moved to an online test registration system.  The goal of this system was to simplify the test form process and make things easier for us and you.  Unfortunately, the system has been glitchy in some cases.  With the further goal of simplification we are going to elliminate the test fees and incorporate that cost into your monthly payment.   Additionally, the test registration process will be much easier for you.  All you have to do is bring (have your child bring) the completed test form (paper) with them to test day.  That's it.

As you know we hold belt tests every 10 weeks.  As such there are 5 tests per year.  Typically you are spending $200-$250 (4-5 tests) per year on test fees without referral credits.

Starting in the month of August we will be adding $15 to your monthly bill in order to replace the test fees.  Your annual cost will be reduced by $20 - $70.

There will still be a fee for DAN/DEGREE tests.

If you have mupltiple children in the program, please send me an email.

This will be a cost reduction for you and a simplification for us.

If you have any questions about the above two changes, please send me an email.
