BB Prep - Homework & Tip Test Prep

Please download the homework sheets from the links on the right of this page. Complete the appropriate sheet each week and bring it back to BB Prep class the next Friday for credit.

Where is everyone's homework? Our Powerful Word this month is Goal-Setting (deciding on what you would like to achieve and making a plan to achieve it). Your goal is to earn your Black Belt. We have created a plan to help you acheive it (the BB Prep Cycle). You have to consistently follow the plan and work hard to be successful. Reviewing and practicing the BB Prep curriculum outside of the Friday BB Prep class is critical to your success. The homwework sheets give you the steps to practice and turning them in on Friday helps keep you accountable. As Mr. Parker said, "A master can't make you good, he can only try to point you in the right direction. It's up to you to supply the dedication and sweat." Do your homework!

Next Friday is the Month #1 BB Prep Tip Test. If you can correctly demonstrate the 12 self defense techniques we have reviewed in the Month #1 curriculum you will earn a white tip. Review and practice all 12 techniques in the air or with a family member at home. Follow DVD #1 or search the student resources for technique descriptions. Review and practice with another Advanced Brown Belt outside of class. 15-30 minutes of practice a day will make a huge difference!

Remember, you can still pass your Flip Test, without passing your BB Prep Tip Tests. However, you are much better positioned to pass your Flip Test if you earn your white, yellow and orange tips leading up to the Flip Test. If you do not earn your white tip this month you will know that you need to work more on the month #1 curriculum. You will also know that you need to prepare more to be successful on the month #2 & 3 BB Prep Tip Tests.
