Grading Results - Dec 2019

38 students attended the examination

11 Little Ninjas promotions:

26 Martial Arts promotions:

  • 2 x ‘L’ passes
  • 7 x ‘+’ pass
  • 7 x ‘A’
  • 2 students had both, A, +
  • One student retained their current belt

4 Black Belt Candidates attended for a pre-grading progress check. Whilst these are not technically graded, they each demonstrated an ‘A’ standard as expected of a black belt candidate.

Everlands have a parents evening on Tuesday 24th February, so unfortunately we can’t have any classes on that evening.

As we have no classes on the Tuesday, we’ll squeeze in some extra classes on the monday evening so hopefully most of the juniors can still get a class in 🙂
  • 6:00-6:30 – Little Ninjas
  • 6:30- 7:15 – All Junior Martial Arts
  • 7:30 – 9:00 – ALL Adults.

Apologies to those with children who are unable to attend the alternate Monday sessions. We’re aware that some of you have other commitments, but feel that on the handful of occasions through the year when the school need to use the hall we’d rather try to find a compromise to accommodate as many people as possible rather than simply cancel classes. Obviously this isn’t always possible but when it is we’ll do our best to fit everyone in 🙂

Tuesday 13th JAN, 8-9pm

Hi folks, as we’ve only just got back to it this week, the concensus among the black belts in class last night was to move our usual ‘first tuesday’ black belt training session forward a week, so we’re moving it to next week, 13th Jan

These sessions are open to all Black Belts / Candidates, and to those Red/Black belts approaching candidate status who may wish to work on patterns etc.

______________________________________________

Please note: This is an open training session for you to work on your own initiative, not a taught class.

Instructors may be available to help, but that’s not guaranteed, so if there’s anything in particular you need help with, please ask in advance of the session, as it may well be that instructors have plans for personal training during this time and cannot guaranteed to be available to help. However, do remember there are going to be other black belts / candidates you can work with, just ASK!

Reporting Absence

If you’re sending us a message to let us know you won’t be in class, firstly thanks – it’s important we know to ensure the register is correct, but please remember you need to do this via phone, text or email only as these are the only things we check at the school.  We don’t check social media etc. at the school so Facebook messages etc. won’t get read. Thanks!

Master Olpin’s mobile is 07973 368304 for text or calls, or you can email admin@blackbeltacademy.info

Queries about monthly payments

If you budget your membership via monthly payments please remember that if you have any queries or need to make any changes to bank details you need to do this directly with DFC.

Once they’re set up, DFC handle all the admin and simply send me a report at the end of the month.   That’s exactly what we pay them for so we don’t have to get bogged down with dealing with individual admin for 50-odd students.

You can phone them on 01908 422007 or email them on info@debitfinance.co.uk.  

The school reference is 2368 Ilyokwan Black Belt Academy and your reference will be the payee and student name.
