2026 Hoodies
From January 15th–March 15th, students may wear the new 2026 Hoodies or their traditional white uniform to class. To maintain a consistent appearance, only the official 2026 hoodies will be permitted.
Important Pre-Order Details: Pre-orders launch later this week. Please note that we will not carry inventory this year; hoodies are strictly pre-order only.
Sizing: Because these are custom orders, we cannot offer size exchanges. We highly recommend sizing up if you are concerned about fit or shrinkage.
Deadline: Orders must be placed by January 1st, 2025.
Late Policy: The ordering portal will close automatically on the 1st. Any orders attempted after this date will be refunded, as we cannot extend the deadline. Delivery is expected by January 15th.
Options: There are two color options (white/black) and two design options (Venture to a Better Life on front, Venture logo with tree on back) – see images below for examples.

Sparring Gear
Level 2 students are required to have sparring gear to rank up. If your child is in Level 2 and has not obtained sparring gear, please speak with the front desk to review purchasing options. Gear takes 7-10 days to arrive. Level 2 will be sparring next week.
Register for the Colorado Winter Classic Tournament
Registration is now open for the NMAA’s Colorado Winter Classic Tournament, which will be held February 7th at the Colorado School of Mines’ Steinhauer Fieldhouse. Discounted online pricing ends on February 4th, so register today!
We encourage all students of all belt levels and ages to compete at tournaments (yes, even white belt Little Dragons) – no previous experience required!

Additional Tournament Information:
If your student is a beginner, we recommend signing up for the Recreational Ring. In this ring, instructors walk students through their form, which removes the memorization component. The Recreational Ring provides a fun, stress-free environment that introduces students to a tournament setting. All students ages 5-6 are automatically classified as Recreational.
The Competitive Ring is designed for students who have their form memorized (1st half of form only). Students compete for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place podium spots.
Students have the option to spar or do self-defense. This selection is made at the time of registration. If you don’t have sparring gear, self-defense is the best choice for you!
If you have any questions or would like clarification on how tournaments work, please feel free to reach out! You can respond directly to this email or call us at 303-928-0043.
