In the coming months we will be incorporating some new form into the curriculum. The forms will be gradually implemented over the next year or so. This is a major change for us at Chung Kims. As we go through and learn the new forms, you will still be responsible for all of the old forms that you have learned.

I have been taught the new yellow belt form, which will be a requirement for the next promotion. All yellow belts and above will be required to know this form. If you already know Chun Ji you will be required to know that form also. With the added forms it will be more difficult for everybody to get ready for promotion every two months. If you put in extra work outside of class this will increase your chances of testing more frequently, but not guarantee it.

Over the next week or so I will be updating the yellow belt study guide and coming out with an orange belt study guide. I’ll put them on the website as soon as I get them done, and will have them for handouts for the class shortly after that.

Everybody is doing great in class. Keep working hard. One thing to remember is that you want to be a black belt not wear one. The hard work is what will make you a black belt. The final product of all that hard work is a just little piece of cloth that you tie around your waist.

Thanks,

Mr. Legendre
