Dear Members,
Our next round of gradings are coming up again so it's time to start thinking about putting some extra work into getting ready. Remember that we now have an "Open Gym" on Wednesday nights (6.30pm) which is there for anyone wanting to do a bit of extra practice. We have instructors available to assist and of course plenty of space to train. (You may have noticed that Crossfit are no longer using the back of our dojang, which gives us more space to spread out!) Mini Kids Grading Grading: Thursday 18th September (second to last week of the school term). The grading will be at Warrior Training Zone, Ellerslie, arrive by 3.45pm, start at 4pm. There will be no normal classes held that day. We expect to finish some time after 6 pm. Pre-gradings will be conducted in normal class times in the weeks leading up to the grading. To be able to grade, all mini-kids must complete the relevant pages in their workbook and have it signed off by their instructor. Other requirements to grade include knowing the syllabus and having good attendance and attitude during class. Once your instructor has given you permission to grade you will be handed a grading application form. Cut off for grading forms to be received and paid: Friday 12th September. Colour Belt Grading Grading: Thursday 23 October, 6pm. Pre-gradings will be conducted in normal class times in the weeks leading up to the grading. Cut off for grading forms to be received and paid: Friday 17th October. We will still hold normal mini-kids classes at 3.30pm and 4.30 pm. This is the last colour belt grading for Warrior this year so train hard throughout the school holidays to get ready for it. As we did last time, grading forms will not be handed out to everyone - rather, you will be given a grading form by your instructor, when your instructor is satisfied that you are ready to grade. Class Cancellations As above, all classes are cancelled on Thursday 18 September for the mini kids grading. Anyone normally attending a class on that day is welcome to attend a class at the same time on a different day during that week. Other Events Kids - there are various camps and tournaments being organised especially for you! First up is the Under 18 Tournament held at Wesley College in South Auckland. This is a great event and especially suitable for our colour belts. The 3rd Pee Wee tournament is being held back in Pukekohe on 16th November. Those who attended the last one will tell you what an awesome tournament this is. It is open to mini kids and colour belt kids and is the place for our kids to experience what a tournament is like in a completely safe environment. If tournaments aren't your thing then there are two awesome kids camps to choose from. TheAuckland Kids Camp is being held on the weekend of 10-12 October and is limited to 60 kids. First in, first served. The National Kids Camp is in November and held near Tauranga. It is the 12th annual Kids camp and is heavily subsidised by ITKD - only $20 to attend!! You can register for all these events via the itkd website: www.itkd.co.nz. You need your membership number to register so if you are unsure of that please email us. Have a great training week! Best wishes, Rachel Bates Manager
