Hey Pierre-AJF'ers, to help prepare for the Aug. 15th Promotional Belt Test there will be a practice session on Sunday (Aug. 9th) from 1-2:30pm.

Practice before a belt test builds muscle memory, reduces anxiety, and ensures forms, stances, & foot/hand techniques are executed with precision and power.

Enhance that confidence ~ cultivate mental resilience ~ promote your discipline to the next level!
