October Pink Belts - Wishing for Mommy
Students who have paid for a belt or patch may wear their pink belts through the month of October.
Please keep your RANK belt in your bag so it can be striped!!
Limited PINK belts, hats, patches, keychains, and headbands are available for those who didn't pre-order, while supplies last.
Proceeds go to Wishing For Mommy—a foundation where kids can write letters to receive these grants for their mothers battling breast cancer. Pilsung students in this situation are encouraged to write a letter for their mother. See Master Myers for details.

Fall Break FAQs
1. Are there classes during Fall Break?
YES! Our normal schedule will not change thru *most* of Fall Break.
2. Are there make-up classes?
No. Black Belts have Open Weapons on Thursdays.
ALL Ranks have Open Boards Mondays & Open Forms & Sparring Fridays.
3. How else can I make-up class?
The awesome class credit system allows any number of classes per week. So plan to double-up when you return or before you leave so the student doesn’t miss anything or feel left behind!
While Open Boards and Sparring do NOT count towards Graduation, Open FORMS DOES!
Also, reserve a private lesson with your fav Instructor for 1-on-1 help.
4. Will there be a RAT Camp?
*MAYBE?*
We sometimes offer 2-hour Rank Advancement Training Camps when we have large school breaks. They will be Saturday, October 24th and cost $35. Please watch for and vote in the Google survey coming out soon!

Tournament Info
Every year ATA provides THREE training, testing, and tournament events called Fall Nationals,
Spring Nationals, and Worlds.
Pittsburgh, PA is hosting Fall Nationals this year,

These tournaments are worth bonus points for competitors placing first, second, or third.
