Park Testing – June 15, 2024

KNMA Park Testing

The next testing for belt promotion will be on Saturday June 15th and will be a very special event. ALL dojo students – even those not ready to test – are encouraged to attend.

 

Location:

NOT at Dragon and Crane Dojo

NOT at Ken Nagayama Martial Arts in Burbank


Valley Village Park

5000 Westpark Drive

North Hollywood, CA 91601

Time:

The event will have 3 parts:

  1. Group Photo @ 8:15 AM: all students, including those not testing, are encouraged to participate. Please arrive by 8:00 AM and in uniform. Photos will be available for sale after testing.
  2. Testing @ 8:30 AM: students who are testing should be ready to start testing immediately after the photo. Students not testing can change clothing and are encouraged to stay to watch and support their classmates.
  3. Pot Luck Picnic ~11:00 AM: after testing, all students and families are welcome to eat with and get to know the entire KNMA and DC Dojo community.
 
Once again, ALL students are welcome and encouraged to attend. If you’ve been to KNMA school in Burbank, you can see photos taken every year since the studio opened in 1988.
 
If you can only attend part of the event, please prioritize the photo. Also, students and families are welcome and encouraged to form carpools, both for logistical and social benefits.
