KungFu Sash Testing: We will hold our first official Kungfu Sash Testing 6/2/12.  Students who know the "5 Stance Form" (in both directions), Beginner Long Fist, or Beginner Staff are recommended to test for sash promotion.  If you are not sure if you or your child is ready to test, please speak before class.  Testing is required to progress to the next level of forms training.  Also, please note the testing requirements and the small associated fee as identified by the curriculum:
