Instructor training

Mon, 22 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Effective Monday April 22, 2024:

In lieu of the Mon/Wed 7:45 class, I am restarting the instructor program. Brown belts and up will begin teaching as the lead with a backup instructor to assist. Additionally blue belts and adv blue belts will be asked to participate in running parts of the class(eg warmups, drills, basics).

To help maintain current training, a brown/black belt class will be held the first Monday of each month at the old timeslot: 7:45 - 9:00 PM, subject to change and availability. You will not be required to teach any week that we have a brown/black belt class. This means that on the first week of each month, no one will be required to teach, and there are 2 meets: Monday and Saturday.

Demonstrations & performances
