Hey Everyone!! We're just sending this email out as a little information sheet for our new and returning members. Our first practice will be next Wednesday, September 4th over in the Martial Arts room at the RAC (located on the second floor by the treadmills and heavy bags). Our meetings will start at 8:00 pm and go until 10. We highly recommend that if you are able, to come a little early so you can warm up or get some beginning things taken care of with the officer's help. Few reminders:
We practice Monday and Wednesday from 8:00 - 10:00, but you're welcome to show up whenever you can!!
From your first practice date (as in the first day you show up), there will be a 3 week "grace"/ trial period. This is in place so everyone can feel out the club and determine whether it's something they want to pursue.
If you'd like to keep practicing at the end of this 3 week trial period, you'll need to have all the forms submitted: your athletic physical and your impact baseline test. Information on this can be found in our discord. THESE FORMS ARE REQUIRED TO SPAR
If you have your own sparring gear, feel free to bring that along (we won't be sparring much or at all in the beginning but for down the line) and if you don't have any gear, we have extras that we lend out.
You DO NOT need any experience to practice or join the club, feel free to show up and bring any other mason students with you.
You also DO NOT need any Taekwondo uniforms or apparel, you are more then welcome to wear normal gym clothes or anything comfortable.
