Throughout the month there will be sign-up sheets located in the seating area.  Please take a look to sign up for Movie Night or the St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

Valentines

Everyone knows the month of February is the month of Valentine’s Day.  In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, we will be handing students a complimentary Valentine’s Day Card that they may give out to their classmates.  If at any time before Valentine’s Day, you want more cards, we will gladly provide you will additional Valentine’s Day Cards.

Buddy Week

From February 13^th through 17^th, all students will be allowed to bring as many friends as they want to their classes.  Each buddy may only come to one class the entire week, but students are welcomed to bring as many different friends as possible.  There will be no fee for the buddy’s participation.

For buddy week, the buddy will undergo a small taste of the journey that is Tae Kwon Do with their student friend leading and guiding them through the exercises.  Buddies do not need to wear a uniform, however they do need to wear something that they feel comfortable enough in so they can move around and sweat in.

If at any time a buddy signs up with Sky Martial Arts during the week of Buddy Week, the referring student will receive a RAFFLE TICKET towards a brand new KINDLE PER BUDDY that signs up.

We highly encourage all students to bring their friends!

Movie Night

Movie Night was such a big hit that we have made it into a quarterly event!  If you missed the last movie night, make sure not to miss this one!  Movie Night is scheduled for February 17^th, 6:00PM-9:00PM.  Parents please drop off  children at the studio at 6:00PM and go out for a night of well-deserved fun.

There is a $10 Entrance Fee for each participant with food and drinks provided.

There will be a sign up sheet placed in the front seating area, so please sign up soon.

We are increasing the maximum size of participants for Movie Night so that everyone who wants to be a part of this very fun event is welcome!

All buddies that have already been brought to BUDDY WEEK may come to this event as well.

. Tournament Season

The Season for Tournaments is on the horizon.  There are two upcoming tournaments in the month of March.  The first is the Santa Cruz Open on March 10^th, and our very own tournament, the American Open on March 31^st

.

All Sky Students are encouraged to attend the American Open because Sky Martial Arts is the host and we want to show off our school spirit and pride.

Whether it is forms, sparring, or even synchronized forms we suggest all students to get into gear and practice hard.  If you feel like you want to compete in any of these tournaments or the many more that are to come, please feel free to do so.

We encourage the students who aim for the gold to schedule private lessons with any of the instructors prior to competing.  Private lesson students have been known to succeed at a much higher rate than those who have not participated in private lessons.

Reminders

Every month there will be at least one event.  Please take advantage of this as attending events are a requirement for the silver lightning bolt and a chance at the Student of the Year Award at the end of the year.

This month’s event is the Buddy Week and the Movie Night.  Make sure you sign up for Movie Night!

At the end of BUDDY WEEK, Friday 17^th, there will be no black belt club class or adult class, because there will be a movie night.  We encourage all students to attend.   In order to participate in the movie night, all participants must pay a $10 admissions fee.  This will provide for the many snacks and drinks that we will give to the children.  During this movie night, we will experience many fun activities and games, while teaching the fundamental principles of Tae Kwon Do, and end with a movie.

There will be no schedule change during this week other than the last two classes on Friday which will be substituted for Movie Night. 

Each buddy may only attend ONE CLASS (Movie Night not Included).  But students may bring as many different buddies to each class!

If any of the buddies that are brought anytime during Buddy Week sign up with Sky Martial Arts, the referring student will be given a RAFFLE TICKET towards a brand new KINDLE.  One RAFFLE TICKET will be given per buddy that signs up.

Movie Night is scheduled for February 17^th, 6:00PM-9:00PM.  Parents please drop off  children at the studio at 6:00PM and go out for a night of well-deserved fun.

Rank Advancement Requirements

Blue Tip (Knowledge and Basic Movements): All Sky Students must be able to absorb, understand, and practice not only physical techniques but the respect, discipline, and mental concentration as well. Understanding the knowledge for each rank will help as students grow physically by reminding that it is also important to grow mentally.  Basic Movements are also required as each rank’s basic movements will allow practice for a better ranking form (poomse).

Black Tip (Rank Form and Understanding of Movements):  Ranking forms (or poomse) are the series of systematic movements used for defense and attack.  Each belt has its own poomse and continues to increase in difficulty as students advance.

Red Tip (Attendance, Basic Kicks, and Manner): Class attendance is important.  Traditional Tae Kwon Do is a disciplined martial art, which is intended to be practiced regularly.  The more consistent classes are attended, the faster students will learn the basic fundamentals and gain confidence in their skills.  If you are planning to miss more than two regular classes in any given week, please let one of the instructors know ahead of time to stop us from worrying about you.   Basic Kicks are also required as each rank’s basic kicks will allow practice for a better ranking form (poomse) and sparring (kyoorogi).
