Dear Parents and Students,
Tiger Rock Martial Arts Incorporated is redefining martial arts with an exciting modern and innovative approach. With the incorporation of high intensity interval training, stress reduction techniques, and a better understanding of the value of nutrition, our students are experiencing Tiger Rock TaeKwonDo in a whole new way! Children are going home talking about better eating choices, and many of the adults are seeing pounds drop off and inches shrinking from their bodies!
Make no mistake, Tiger Rock TaeKwonDo is still authentic and true to it's roots. Let's look forward to having our program become one of a health and fitness lifestyle as well as the respected art form that we know and love.
Forms training is the training emphasis of the week. Our instructors will be working to help us perfect our forms and will also be striping up the white and yellow belts. The secondary training point for the week is targets and breaking. We will be using focus targets, pads and heavy bags for striking drills and contact skills that are used in breaking. Board breaking clinic is scheduled to be held on Saturday July 31 for all green belt and above students. Sign up sheets are located in the lobby. This week's training will help to enhance the skills necessary for board breaking.
Because the emphasis in the classroom this week will be forms, we ask that all students please practice their sparring flows and combinations at home this week. Parents and students are reminded to login to itaonline.com and make sure that their membership dues are current, so that they will be able to register for upcoming events. White Belt students and new Tiger Cubs will be pre registered. White Belt students have their memberships paid for the first 60 days. All other students must have their memberships current. Membership in the Tiger Rock Martial Arts, Inc allows you to participate in rank testings, tournaments, and gives you visitation privileges to all Tiger Rock franchised schools in the US and other countries.  |

Equipment Requirements
 Parents and students are reminded that all students will be required to demonstrate contact skills at their next testing. Focus Targets are available for purchase at the Academy to help students practice these techniques. Each student should have a focus target as part of their equipment. Also, Level 3 Green, Blue and Brown Belts will be required to board break at the next testing. All Red and Black Belts will also be required to break for their next rank. Focus targets are great for practicing breaking, but an even better piece of equipment is the rebreakable board. These are also available for purchase. Please see a member of our staff to purchase these essential pieces of gear.
