Happy Birthday Mr. Landon Halverson



We do Birthdays.....just ask Landon!

Landon and some of his closest friends helped celebrate his birthday at the Academy on Saturday.  Landon turned 8 years old and wanted to share his Taekwondo experience.  Thank you Landon for bringing your friends and family!
We had a blast with our stances, kicks and drills to test our Focus, Perseverance and Respect!  
If you would like to celebrate your Birthday with Washington Black Belt Academy ask Mr. Andrews how!

What's Up Next

It's been awhile since I have written here, but I wanted to keep you updated on what's going on at Washington Black Belt Academy.

Graduation is coming, Sat. March 14th at 6:00 pm  It's sure to be an exciting event as our Renton Academy has several students testing for their Black Belts.  There is even someone testing for their 3rd Degree!
Graduation forms are due back by the end of the week!  Be sure to have your parents and teachers fill out their evaluations.

We've stayed busy here in Redmond - lot' s of new students trying out classes.
I taught a week's worth of PE classes at Ben Rush Elementary - that was a BLAST!  I got to meet a whole bunch of kids that have never had the opportunity to try out Martial Arts, and also got to work with some that have some experience.  I hope I get a chance to do it again, both at Ben Rush as well as at other schools in the district.

I am going to start posting our Student of the Month here on our Blog, so check back to see who it is on March 1st!

Let me know if your reading this - send me an email jandrews@wablackbelt.com and I will be sure to send you something in return!
