Mark your calendars! This year, Blackbelt Week will feature classes **every day of the week** for adults. This is your chance to train with blackbelts, new blackbelts, and even students from outside NYC who will be visiting that week. 

**And a special bonus for Kids:** On Saturday (September 30th) there will be a special 10:30AM class for all three divisions (Juniors, Youth, and Teens) that will be taught by different blackbelts (including some brand-new shodans!) – so kids will also be able to participate in the excitement of Blackbelt week as well.

Plan to spend the week training hard!

This is the (*almost*) final schedule for the week (we may have one more additional surprise event for kids on Tuesday, September 26th – more details to come soon!):
