The 4th Degree and Elite Martial Arts have tentatively scheduled an inter-school tournament for juniors for November 2. This tournament promises to be a great way for junior students to get some experience in competing in both forms and sparring and will offer great preparation for the bigger tournaments coming up in the months ahead. Stay tuned for more details on the time and entry requirements to be posted here on The 4th Degree Blog real soon!

We would like to congratulate the junior students who tested last night for a job very well done! Mr. Michael Hermes tested for his junior brown belt and demonstrated an awesome spirit and a great deal of proficiency in all his techniques. Ms. McKayla Hunter tested for her junior purple belt and impressed us all with those amazing head height kicks she was throwing. Mr. Chris Hyunh and Mr. Abhi Nallam also delivered some solid performances in testing for their purple belts especially in their sparring ability. Last but not least, Mr. Joshua Garcia tested for his junior yellow belt and showed great spirit and composure as he demonstrated all he had learned in the few short weeks since he started training. We're looking forward to seeing these great young people as they progress towards their goal of earning their black belts.

A great big thanks goes out to Mr. Chris Burton and Mr. Chris Austin for their support and assistance during the test last night.

Several of our Junior Taekwondo students will be testing this Friday, September 17 starting at 6:30 P.M. Please come out and support these outstanding young martial artists who will be testing for belts ranging from yellow to brown belt.
