Sparring Week
Students will be sparring this week. Please bring all gear to class. We recommend arriving a few minutes early.
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.
Color Belt Testing
Level 3 and Family Class students’ belt testing will be December 13th in Central Park. Registration is open on the app. Once students earn their red stripe, they are eligible to sign up.
Level 2 students do not need to attend testing on December 13th. Students need to earn their red stripe in class prior to December 13th in order to be eligible to receive their next rank during belt promotion week (starting December 16th).
This information does not apply for Level 1 students. Level 1 students are promoted in class once they earn 10 black stripes on their belt.
