July was a busy month for Sangrok with school holiday training, the self-defence workshop and our women’s training day. August by comparison is fairly quiet so this newsletter is very short! We have had a couple of really cold mornings lately and some pretty heavy rain right at the start of the class on Thursday night, but hopefully we still start to feel it warming up a bit soon and it will be summer before we know it! We have quite a few new students joining us over July and August, please introduce yourself and make them feel welcome!

- Recommend us to your family, friends, and coworkers!
RED AND BLACK BELT GRADING
You will need enough time for feedback and improvement cycles so don’t leave it too late to start. Chat to your instructor or Trip if you have any questions.
There are 41 days until the red belt grading! This means that you have only 27 days left to have your pre-grading assessment completed if you would like to be considered for promotion at the red belt grading.
The black belt grading is scheduled for Sunday 30 October (84 days away) so if you are hoping to grade to black belt or within the dan ranks, make sure you are working on your pre-grading assessment now.
You will need enough time for feedback and improvement cycles so don’t leave it too late to start. Chat to your instructor or Trip if you have any questions.
SIGNING IN FOR CLASSES
Coloured belt grading (White – Blue/Grey) is scheduled for Saturday 17 September. Please remember to sign in to classes using the iPad when you arrive – we use class attendance data to start forming our invitation lists for grading, so if you would like to be invited to grading ensure you are signing in!
