6th Kyu Test in November 2009

PAC Members,

I’m planning to have next kyu test by the end of Nov 2009 time frame.

Note that there will be a slight change for the beginners.
A 6th kyu test will be introduced for aikidoist that have recently joined the dojo.
The minimum time requirement for this test is 20 days of training.
See the attached document for 6th Kyu test requirements.

What will be different in this test only is that beginners that (will) meet the minimum time requirement of 40 days will be eligible for 5 Kyu test.

Starting Jan 2010, all beginners will be required to go through 6th Kyu test.

There is no 6th Kyu test fee but 2009 USAF annual fee of $30 will be applicable.

There is a $30 fee 5th Kyu test + 2009 USAF annual fee ($30).

Note that all members with an USAF Kyu (including who passed the test in Nov 09) will need to pay 2010 USAF annual fee no later than Feb 2010.

Let me know if you feel that you are (will be) ready for your kyu test and (will) meet the minimum time requirement.

We will go through a dry run sometime before the test and provide you valuable feed back, if any needed.

So start working your techniques and specially the names, as it seems to be always where we struggle the most.

Note that Saturday morning from 9:00-10:00am we have an open mat practice where there is always an instructor and sempais that can help to fill some gaps.

Don’t hesitate to ask instructors and sempais for help.

See you all on the mats.

Kind regards,

Sidney
