This is a very busy time for us in tae kwon do. Last Friday was the color belt promotion test, we had 10 students test and they all received their next level belts. They worked hard for them. One of my students is a pretty tough cookie. She had to see the dentist in the afternoon and ended up having a tooth pulled, she still tested. By the end of the night she was hurting. Poor thing.
Gary was told by Grand Master Park that he will be testing for his Master (5th degree black)in October. Poor guy just wanted to retire from tae kwon do quietly but that isn't going to happen. He will be testing in October. Now he has to get back to the school and start working on his forms and then he will have to demonstrate some hand techniques. Brandon(grandson) is going to help him on this. I'm glad.
In March we have 4 students testing for their 1st degree black belts. They are all stressing out about it so we are having a class on Monday nights just for them. We are allowing our other two red belt students come to this class also, they are the children of one of the testers. Our Monday class is only going to be for two months.
Our little school is growing and I hope that everyone keeps coming. I signed up six new students in the last two weeks. We are getting a bit crowded now. I also have 7 students who live in Custer come.
We talked to the parents and worked out a deal with the Custer people. Since they live so far out they are going to come to a two hour class on Wednesday. It was the only way we could get everyone in comfortably. I have another lady interested in coming back. She came last year with her children but they got involved in other school activities. They live way out towards Busby so they came one night a week for two hours.
I saw her the other day in the courthouse and she expressed interest in coming back. Told her about the Custer family and she would like to come back, just need to get in touch with her and let her know about our Wednesday class. Her children are involved in school activities so she is in town every night, this would give her the opportunity to get back in.
Our Wednesday class will be from 6:00-8:00, that time works best for them. Makes it a quick turn around for me but gives me time to get off work and then get to class.
Right now we have 30 students who come on a regular basis. I'm excited because our school is now making a little profit.
