The Soaring Summer Challenge

Martial arts schools considering ways to generate excitement and keep attendence up during summer months should consider featuring our Soaring Summer Challenge. It keeps students actively involved during the summer and having fun! Below is an outline of the information that we give to the students to explain how the summer challenge works. Feel free to modify any of the specific challenges to fit your school specifically. We've prepared the general outline of how to do it, as well as provided the Soaring Summer Challenge attendence card for you. The only thing you will need to do is contact a local airport and line out the details on paying for the rides for the students to take with a pilot. This is a very unique prize for referring friends to martial arts, since very few students have probably ever taken a plane ride!

Starting June, we kick off our Soaring Summer Challenge! For 3 months, students will accumulate points for attending regular classes, participating in extra events, accomplishing various challenges, and referring friends to join Martial Arts with them. Prizes for the most points will be awarded at the end of August. Also, as a BONUS challenge, anybody that refers a friend to sign up in our program during the Soaring Summer Challenge will earn a ticket for a soaring plane ride for both themselves and a friend! Here’s how to play:

1 point for each class attended:
During the months of June, July, & August, students will be allowed to attend up to 3 classes per week, regardless of what program they are enrolled in. You can earn 1 point for each class attended. This includes regular classes, open demonstrations, parades, graduations, and Glow Weapons parties.

Picture of you doing a kick on vacation:
Going somewhere for vacation this summer? Bring back a picture to hang up at Martial Arts school of you doing a sidekick on vacation to earn 10 points!

Attend a Glow Weapons party:
Hit any Glow Weapons party during these 3 months and you will get an extra 10 points!

Kicking Challenge: 1,000 Kicks
To get an extra 10 points during the summer, accomplish a total of 1,000 kicks. Keep a track of them on a piece of paper and have your parents sign the paper each time you do more kicks.

Participate in a Martial Arts Demo:
During the summer, we host demonstrations at various festivals featuring our hardest working students. Attend any one of these demonstrations for 10 points towards the Soaring Summer Challenge.

Participate in a Parade with us:
There are several parades throughout the summer too! Join in on any one of these to earn yourself another 10 points.

Sign up a friend, YOU BOTH WIN A PLANE RIDE!
This is a BONUS challenge! Though still only worth 10 points towards the challenge, if you invite a friend and they sign up during the Soaring Summer Challenge, you earn a soaring plane ride for both you and your friend!
