Not only will over 30 students be testing to receive their next black belt, but several masters will be testing for promotion, as well.

New Year's Holiday - SMAA Closed, December 31, 2010 - January 1, 2011 (Open Jan 3)

Annual Black Belt World Festival - SMAA Closed, April 14 - 16, 2011 (Open April 18); Two major reasons to attend this event! 1. Instructor Smith will be testing for his 3rd degree black belt. 2. The festival is a LOT of FUN and VERY EDUCATIONAL! All participants enjoy and benefit so much from this event. PLEASE plan to attend! It is months away, but everyone should begin to plan now. Once Grandmaster Lee arranges the group discount rate for the hotel and release the sign-up form, I will let everyone know. If we have enough participation, SMAA may charter a bus to attend the event instead of everyone having to drive. MORE INFOMARTION TO COME IN THE NEAR FUTURE!

SMAA After-School Care Status: Instructor Smith is still waiting on the State of Georgia approval for the after-school program. Once approved it will be offered to students at Due West and Still Elementary. If we get more interested parents for Kemp Elementary we will substitute Kemp for Still. MORE INFORMATION TO COME!!!

Please check out our NEW WEBSITE next week, November 24, 2010. Also, Instructor Smith is working on a Student Only Resource website that will contain videos of all of the poomses, one-step self defense moves, breaking techniques, etc. Instructor Smith plans to cover the entire Black Belt World curriculum in video to assist students and parents. A link to the new site will be provided once it is functioning properly.
