There are 3 teams for which you can try-out...Elite, STORM, and SWAT. Depending on your skill level you may be invited to try out for one of our teams. More information will be given in class. Come and join a winning team....TEAM JUSTUS!!

Ban Bu Test!!

So today we had a 3.5 hour Ban Bu Test at our Lindon Studio. We began the process with 42 candidates and ended up testing 22 students. The test was very difficult and really verified that our students knew their basics, kata, self-defense, physical portion, sparring, weapons, and showtime kicks. The students were tired but were rewarded with a new belt or additional knowledge for which to approach the next test.
