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.

A little reminder folks -If you’re hoping to test in September, then you have a week to get your applications in – the deadline for completed applications is the end of May.

Don’t forget that goals etc. must be agreed in advance and training plans submitted WITH your application!

Hey team,

Just a quick reminder that we don’t train on Bank Holidays, so no adult classes on 1st May (May Day), 8th (Coronation) or 29th (Spring Bank Holiday).

BUT as always, we’ll put on an additional adults session after the kids classes on Tuesday evening, so that’s 8-9pm for all adults to ensure you can both enjoy your long weekend and still get a couple of classes in for the win/win!

Cut-off date
Could we please remind everyone that the cut-off for stars/certificates etc. is the last lesson before the grading as the plan is always to do all the admin for graduation on the Monday morning after the grading.
Certificates
If your child has collected either four stars of one colour, or one star of each colour then they can get a certificate for their achievement, but you’ll need to let us know as above as they won’t be issued automatically.

Stars for Attendance
Sometimes we’ll have people query attendance stars citing they’ve attended ‘nearly all the classes’ but please remember these are are for really outstanding attendance, so the criteria is that a student has attended 90% or more of classes – including the grading examination and graduation events.
Late arrivals (without prior agreement) will only be counted as half a session, and the graduation event counts as two sessions so these will often have an impact on eligibility.

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.
