Association Fees due by Jan. 31 to receive a free T-shirt!

Dear BST Families,



We have received a few questions regarding the Association Fees we've been announcing to the students, and I'd like to tell you about this great opportunity we've all been given.

Last July, we sent out a letter to announce that we as a school joined with Master Ernie Reyes' West Coast World Martial Arts Association. We've been a part of associations before, but I feel a particular connection with Master Reyes and his associate Master Tony Thompson. We are truly blessed to have this association. We are one of only two schools in Utah to be part of WCWMA, with over 75 other schools across the states. Being a part of this association means we are part of a larger group of martial artists working with a common purpose to grow and create outstanding martial artists.

Joining WCWMA brings enhancements to your student's curriculum. You may have noticed the growth and improvement to our curriculum over the past months, and these wonderful changes are due in part to our new association. This curriculum will help your student become a better martial artist. Our students are also invited to attend trainings, seminars, and belt testings out in California. The students who are able to go will bring more knowledge and skills back to Beyond Sports, to help us all grow. All of our BST instructors will receive trainings with Master Reyes and his leadership team. This is an incredible boon for our school, and absolutely crucial for your student to reach their potential. If we are alone, we stagnate. But as part of this association, we will always be on the cutting edge of martial arts, growing and learning constantly.

We have made a commitment as a school to honor this association. The fees are very reasonable, even compared to other associations we have joined in the past. Each active student will pay $20 per year. In addition, if paid by January 31st, your student will receive a free association T-shirt, which can be worn in class along with all BST shirts. These fees are required for all Beyond Sports students. I know that you will feel the benefits of this association as it continues to strengthen and enhance each student and our development as a whole.

Reboot!

The last several months have seen a roller coaster ride with our communications. Thanks for bearing with us! We're about to relaunch our website, and we know you'll be impressed by the improvements. We've recently opened a Facebook page and a Twitter feed, and those are taking off, along with the reboot of this blog.

As we move forward, we hope that you'll come to this blog often. It will have more than just the regular studio announcements. At Beyond Sports, Taekwondo is only the beginning. As we combine mind, body and spirit we can become great. We will feature articles about fitness, nutrition, and health. We'll have discussions on personal goals and focus. And we'll post studio announcements as well. =) Come and join the conversation!
