High-Belt Class and Demo Team Practice on Sundays
Starting on Sunday, September 15th high-belt class for green belts and higher will begin. High-belt class is an informal 1-hour class from 11 am – 12 pm for higher belts to focus on advanced techniques. Unlike regular class, the high-belt class takes place in an available multi-purpose room in the ARC instead of the Combat Room. Later in the fall term, some of the Sundays will be used for any students interested in participating in demonstrations throughout the year.
