Other Items: Please review the techniques for each belt rank that will be evaluated during the test on the club website: http://publish.illinois.edu/tkd-illinois/belt-ranks/. Also, everyone that is testing should review the school rules,  Korean terminology and have a favorite technique prepared that you can demonstrate on both sides.

Additional white belt testing opportunities will be held during the last ten minutes of a regularly scheduled class. Please make sure to notify the primary instructor at the beginning of class so that we can plan accordingly.

Illini Home Football Game 10/5/19 at 2:30 pm

This is a reminder that there is a home Illinois football game against Minnesota with a 2:30 pm start time. Please plan accordingly for those that may drive to class on Saturday as parking may be limited and restricted due to tailgating.  

I hope midterm exams are going well and looking forward to training with those available on Saturday.
