Belt Testing—DATE TBD


Belt Testing will be held via Zoom in small groups. If you plan to receive your 3rd Tip this month, or already have 3 tips on your belt - you can Belt Test.

Option if you have 2 Tips: If you only have 2 tips on your belt, the 3rd tip can be earned by attending a 30 minute private lesson.  A full paid private lesson (30 mins) is required in order to spend the time necessary to teach the mandatory curriculum that was missed.  Please send us an email if you are interested.

To register online, you will need to input the email and phone number we have on file for you, what your rank style is: Tigers, 7 yrs, Teens, or Adults; and what your current rank is - this is the color of the belt you have now. If you are having a problem registering, please send us an email at pallensfrontdesk@gmail.com.

Challenges

Our instructors have created a fun way for students to stay fit and focused during the pandemic.
