What is the progress check? Progress check just like it sounds. Grandmaster Seo and the rest of the Kyo Sa Nims get the chance to see the progress of all the students. This day marks the beginning of the Prep-Cycle. This day helps to prepare all the Kyo Sa Nims for what areas need to be covered during prep-cycle and also for the students to see what is really in store for them.

What about absences?There is no exception for an absence during the progress check. There is no other progress check to make up missed ones. Missing the progress check will automatically default a student from the Breckenridge testing.

Uniform? Full uniform is required. All patches must be properly put onto uniforms. There will be NO exceptions. If you do not have patches place your order with the front receptionist ASAP! There will be no second chances so students must be responsible to have proper attire and bring required equipment in their bags (ex. Sparring Gear).

*Tips!* Parents! The prep-cycle is meant to be a learning experience. That means you and your child should get all the information they can from it. The first and most important tip we can give parents is to attend the prep-cycles. Grandmaster Seo says "the student does not get the Black Belt, the family gets the Black Belt." The success rate of the students is raised dramatically when the family is involved. You would be surprised how many parents just drop their children off and leave then end up wondering why their child is not ready for Breckenridge.

Bring a notebook. Like previously mentioned there will be lots of information given out during prep-cycle. Sometimes, especially for the younger students, it is hard to soak up everything that is said. Help the students by writing down certain information for things like the written exam. For example: Grandmaster Seo will not mention is Dan number very often and that is a key question on the written exam.

Any little distraction could throw a student's concentration out the door. That means cell phones and noisy children should be made silent or handled outside. For some students, little things such as hair in the face or an uncomfortable uniform can distract them at the wrong moments. Most students are either messing with their uniform or hair when they should be standing at attention. Fixing uniform pants and arms so that they are not long enough to be in the way will minimize that.

There will be long hours of hard work and the students must make sure they are up for that challenge. Energy is a must! So make sure you are getting plenty of rest and eating healthy meals before and after.

April 25th, 26th and 27th

Line up is on April 25th! At the Village at Breckenridge.

Dear Students,

Congratulations on your up coming testing and promotion to your next belt level in Breckenridge! Don't forget to pick up the graduation schedule at your school. You have worked hard and your achievement is well deserved. Show your accomplishment by having your belt embroidered with your name, the promotion date, and your school's name. You can request this special service at any of the Seo's National Karate locations so that it can be ready for you on your promotion day. Please be sure to indicate the correct belt size if your current belt is too small or too long. If you have any questions, any one of the Seo's National Karate team can help you.
