🥋 Belt Test Preparation (August 30)

As we move closer to the August Belt Test, students should begin focusing on:

• Consistent attendance
• Discipline and focus in class
• Technical accuracy and improvement
• Active participation in drills and sparring

Regular training and steady effort over the next two months will be key to success.

⚠️ Sparring Gear (Now Standard)

Sparring gear is now a standard part of training. All students are expected to bring and use:

• Suggested headgear: https://centurymartialarts.com/products/p2-sparring-headgear
• Suggested chest protector: https://centurymartialarts.com/products/tkd-student-chest-protector
• Suggested fully-covered gloves (not oversized boxing gloves): https://centurymartialarts.com/products/wako-drive-8oz-punch

Students should be comfortable wearing their gear during drills and sparring, as this is essential for safe and effective training.

Preparedness, attendance, and discipline continue to be important factors in each student’s overall development and evaluation.

🛠️ Ongoing Program Improvements

We continue to refine our training system to support fairness and consistency:

• Attendance Tracker & Evaluation App (in progress)
• Standardized Grading Criteria to support belt test evaluations
