Dojo Chinese New Year Party Saturday Feb. 4, 2012. Year of the Dragon! 6 p.m. Pot Luck & Demo. Adult after party starts at 9 p.m. DJ'd by Harrison "CB" Holmes.

Kenpo students will have the opportunity for Belt Ranking Examinations soon.  Two testing dates (held during regular class times) will be available:  Thursday Dec. 15th and Monday Dec. 19th.  Students are required to wear full traditional uniform (jacket and pants with belt).  Testing Fees are due at the time of the exam:  $25 for beginning and intermediate levels (testing for ranks below Blue Belt) and $35 for advanced and refinement levels (ranks Blue Belt and higher).  Best of luck to each of the testing candidates. 

NOTE:  Non Kenpo classes will still be held on these days as regularly scheduled.  Kenpo class times on these testing days will be devoted exclusively to the testing process.  Thank you.
