Instructor Aaron Di Blasi of T&T Martial Arts, Ltd. Announces The Return of the PointMaster Sparring Program (TM) On behalf of T&T Martial Arts, Ltd. I am excited to announce the return of the PointMaster Sparring Program (TM) in 2012!   This program, originally founded by myself (Instructor Aaron Di Blasi) and my sister (Instructor Melissa Di Blasi) back in 2005 enjoyed 4 years of competition spanning multiple T&T Locations before we set down the torch to widen our martial arts perspective sometime in late 2009.   Well I am excited to announce that Master Beltavski has approved my return to re-light that torch, and bring the PointMaster Sparring Program (TM) back to life at T&T once again.   PointMaster Sparring Program (TM) The PointMaster Sparring Program (TM) is a T&T Martial Arts, Ltd. Certified Traditional Taekwondo Sparring Program taught by Instructor Aaron Di Blasi that takes place completely inside the ring. In other words the PointMaster Sparring Program (TM) is both a class, and a tournament. While you will indeed be taught how to fight using Traditional Taekwondo techniques, you will be taught while fighting another competitor inside the ring, each time, every time.   PointMaster is a performance-based program. This means that each of your fights will be scored, these scores will be kept running, and the results will decide the finalists in the PointMaster Sparring Program Finals at the end of each year. As in the past, along with bragging rights, those that make it to the Finals and win can look forward to taking home a coveted "PointMaster Championship Fighter" T-Shirt.   Program Dates: The 2012 PointMaster Sparring Program (TM) will convene for its first session on Thursday, February 16, 2012 from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM at our Lyndhurst, Ohio Location. 2012 PointMaster Sparring Program sessions will follow every third (3rd) Thursday of the month thereafter. Same time. Same location. Future sessions may be added as the program expands. Stay tuned.   PointMaster Sparring Program (TM) Replaces Fight Night: Please note that the PointMaster Sparring Program (TM) will replace Fight Night at our Lyndhurst, Ohio location beginning on Thursday, February 16, 2012. The PointMaster Sparring Program (TM) will now be the recommended sparring curriculum for all T&T Martial Arts students.   Sign-Up: Any T&T student wishing to participate in this or any future PointMaster Sparring Program (TM) session will need to thoroughly read, print, and sign a PointMaster Sparring Program (TM) Rules and Regulations Form and bring it with them to their first session.   Please Note: No student will be approved to fight without putting this form in my hand and each competitor will be expected to know, understand, and be able to reiterate these rules upon request, prior to stepping into the ring. For the safety of all PointMaster competitors, this will be enforced without exception.   Age Requirements: The PointMaster Sparring Program (TM) is open to T&T Students of all ages, however, no child under the age of 16 is permitted in the dojang during a PointMaster Sparring Session unless they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian that is 18 years of age or older. This will be enforced without exception. 16 and 17 year olds may have their parent or guardian speak to Instructor Aaron Di Blasi to attain written permission to attend a PointMaster Sparring Session without their parent or legal guardian present.   Gear Requirements: All PointMaster Fighters will bring with them to each PointMaster Sparring Session the following items, or they will not be permitted to fight in the session:   Required: *Certified Sparring Head Protection *Mouth Guard (Fitted) *Shin and Instep Guards * Gloves   Optional: Forearm Guards Chest Protector   Wrap-Up: If anyone has any additional questions please feel free to email me directly. To everyone that has fought alongside me in the past I want you to know that I have sincerely missed you, and for those that have not yet had the experience of PointMaster I look forward to fighting with each of you on Thursday, February 16, 2012!   Respectfully,   Instructor Aaron Di Blasi, Sam Dan Email: aaron.diblasi@tandtmartialarts.com | Information provided by T&T Martial Arts, Ltd. | www.tandtmartialarts.com | |
