Dear Parents and Students,
We ended our last week with a great board breaking clinic and looking forward, the next week will be devoted to sparring and testing preparation.
With testing only two weeks away, many of our student still lack a private lesson for this cycle. Remember you cannot test until you have been given one on one instruction to help you prepare.
Because the emphasis in the classroom this week will be sparring, we ask that all students please practice their forms 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.  |

Forms Training
 Forms, also known as Hyungs, Tuls or patterns are the fundamental techniques of our art form.
These techniques help us express the power and grace of Ho Am Taekwondo. We are working on forms this week as part of our preparation for testing. Be sure to practice hard at home as well as giving 100% in the classroom!

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.
