Our first term of karate is almost over. For the next two weeks, we'll be reviewing and polishing material to get ready for our test.
If you plan to test notify us by phone, email or note as soon as possible. If you forget, you can still test but you won't get your belt or certificate until after the test.
Students who test have three options
Option 1: CERTIFICATE ONLY. The student will test and receive a paper diploma recognizing their new rank. This option costs nothing -- just come to test.
Option 2: CERTIFICATE & BELT. The student will test and receive a paper diploma and a new karate belt of the appropriate color. This option costs $10 to cover the cost of the belt.
Option 3: FULL UNIFORM. The student will test in a brand new karate uniform, and receive both the diploma and belt at the end of the test. This option costs $35. Students who already have a karate uniform should choose option 2, above.

Study Guide for Session #4
On February 9 & 10, we cover the following:
Movement
Shuffle: Moving forward or backward by sliding the feet across the floor. Legs don't cross. Step away with the lead foot, then bring the rear foot back to a solid safety stance.
Three Rules for Good Nutrition
It's important to remember that nutrition is very complex. These three rules are just the very beginning.
#1: The Best Diet is One You'll Stick To
A lot of diets promise (and sometimes give) good, fast results. But if it's a not a diet you'll eat regularly, you're back to soda and potato chips in just a few weeks. The most important factor in choosing your diet is to make a plan you can live with week after week, year after year.
#2: At Least Five Fruits & Veggies Every Day
Mom's right. Eat your greens. Eat your fruits. New studies show that eating lots of fruits and veggies help with everything from digestion to brain function to avoiding cancer. Especially good for you are cherries, blueberries, blackberries, spinach, broccoli and carrots.
#3: Avoid Fast Food
Fast food and junk food are just plain bad. They're high-calorie, low nutrition and often carry chemicals that make you want to eat more. Now, if you follow a healthy diet most days it's okay to have a soda or hamburger as a treat once in a while. But as a habit, eat as much fresh and home-cooked food as you can.
