The belt test went great! We held two of our standard tests, and our adult students had the opportunity to experience an old-school style test, with our highest ranks seated on a board at the front of the mat observing and evaluating.
Congratulations to everyone who trained hard and leveled up this testing cycle. Your dedication and perseverance continue to make our academy stronger.
The following day, we kicked off our summer sale, and it was a huge success. We will be reinvesting everything we earned back into the academy by purchasing new inventory, adding new gray mats, expanding our second mat room, and replacing some of our worn-out mats.
It was also great to have my instructor and mentor, Mark Sturkie, back with us. He has healed up and was able to attend and assist with grading students during testing.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support our academy and help us grow.
Jaxen Reep hit it out of the park! This was his first time to lead large portions of a belt test. This will be his final test with us a full time employee of the Amarillo location. As one of the final parts of his training before opening the 4th Extreme Martial Arts he lead half of the test.
Thanks you coaches, volunteers and everyone supporting our gym.
