Schedule - WASATCH MARTIAL ARTS

November 3 – December 17, 2026

What we’re working on this cycle

Classes open with preparation for the November 10 Gup Shim Sa. From November 12 through our last class of the year on December 17, the whole school trains one philosophical idea, one technical principle and one kick, each rank at its own depth.

Philosophical emphasis

Shim Gong심공

Mental and spiritual power: the mind that directs the technique.

Technical emphasis

Uido through Shi Sun

Intention, expressed through the line of sight. Decide the target first, and let the eyes arrive before the technique.

Kick of the month

Ahp Cha Neut Gi

Front kick, trained by every rank.

Dan rank variant: Chit Pahl Gi

Key dates

Wed, Dec 2: Instructor class on Zoom, 7:00 PM
