IF YOU ARE DROPPING YOUR CHILD OFF,
DETERMINE HIS RETURN RIDE BEFORE YOU LEAVE.
Most likely, the person who is driving
can take your child back to Wake Forest.

Bring enough money for entrance fees
($6 for general seating, what we usually get)
and snacks ($100 for hotdogs and nachos and such,
since you never get full at a ball game).

STUDENT NIGHT OUT:
Every Wednesday night, all students are invited to go out after class
to grab a bite, be it an ice cream, a burger, pizza, a soda or milkshake,
or simply join in on our summer chat.
We meet at a place near the dojo. Summer treat!
You don't need to attend class to join us.

ACADEMY TESTING
June is Testing Month

Red Sun Academy holds 3 major tests per year -- Feb, Jun, & Oct.
(note that each testing is 4 months apart).
Once a student earns all 5 stripes, he or she qualifies to test.

.....GREEN STRIPE: Student can correctly perform his kata (and all previous katas).
.....BLUE STRIPE: Student can correctly perform his self-defense moves (and all previous moves).
.....BLACK STRIPE: Student can met attendance requirements.
.....PURPLE STRIPE: Student has made a contribution (to school, home, church, or charity).
.....RED STRIPE: Student can mastered technique matching their belt rank.

During testing, a student is graded in the following areas:
.....Attendance
.....Attitude
.....Basics (stances, blocks, kicks)
.....Kata
.....Self-Defense
.....Sparring (yellow belts and higher)
.....Breaking (green belts and higher)
.....Weapons (brown belts and higher)

After the test, the student is given a detailed Evaluation Report
with comments written in each area.
These comments list his strong points
and areas needed for improvement.
Should he pass, a certificate and belt are awarded.
If he does not pass, he need only retest in the areas
that need improving. He does not need to pay the testing fees again.
Testing fees are $25.
