ATTENTION PARENTS

ATTENTION PARENTS! We've finally made your life easier ... and your students safer ... and your gear CHEAPER!

New S.J. Manning's Website has a Complete Equipment and Accessories Catalog with Rock Bottom Prices.

GOOD NEWS:

We have now been able to lower all retail prices
Offer SAFER and more effective Gear and Equipment
Give you access to ANYTHING you want for training, gifts, etc.
Ability to order, buy, size, and ship any way (and any time) you want
Convenience of being in control of your equipment

Finally, without the necessity to stock inventory, sizes and multiple selection, we can offer you gear at the lowest available retail prices.

Now that we are half a semester into our Improved Curriculum and Class Formats, there will be a few items as your students progress in their training that they will need for their classes. We have conveniently placed ONLY the Required Gear in Special Master Level Program Packages so that you may only buy what you absolutely need. Of course you can also browse the entire catalog for additional items for personal and out of class use.

We will continually keep you updated about special sale items that have been more popular and highly requested.

Here's the IMPORTANT Part ...

Please read carefully for complete instructions and required equipment before the end of APRIL 2005, it will vary depending on the length of time you have been training and the gear you already have purchased. I promise, we have made it very client-friendly and affordable for everyone.

YOU NEED NOT GET EVERYTHING NOW!!!

All Students in ALL LEVELS of Master/Leadership Programs should have the required gear in the MASTER LEVEL I package

ALL GEAR that you currently have is OKAY - the requirements of specific gear/brand/style will be expected for those students approved for Master or Leadership training after April 1, 2005.

Current MASTER LEVEL II Students need all support materials in Master Level I (minus and gear they already have).

Current MASTER LEVEL I Students need all support materials in Master Level I (minus and gear they already have).

AFTER APRIL 1, 2005 ALL MASTER LEVEL PACKAGES will be required for NEWLY APPROVED Master/Leadership Students!

The Benefit of Purchasing Master Level Packages is a Reduced Overall Retail Price, each package is discounted by 10 to 20%.

You are able, however, to purchase individual items from the required packages, so as to not have to order the package all at once. ALL Support Materials in the packages will be used throughout the current level program - normally not all at the same time - except for Sparring Gear.

To Clarify What you NEED:

We will begin using the "RUBBER Escrima Sticks" (2) at the end of the month of April 2005 - this is required curriculum material. This is the ONLY item required for curriculum training at this time.

At the minimum, you can purchase 2 Rubber Escrima Sticks out of the MASTER LEVEL I Package, or you can save money by getting the entire package.

It is important to have the required gear. Any gear you already have prior to April 1st is okay, and approved to use as long as you like. At some point, we will be required to have more complete protection for headgear. At this time, the gear in the Master Level I package is necessary for all students. You can simply SELECT individual products from the MASTER LEVEL I package by clicking on the item you want (you do not need to purchase ANYTHING that you ALREADY have, even if it is different from the item in the package!)

Please acquire the Escrima Sticks prior to the end of April - we will notify you as to the material needed for the curriculum content throughout the year.

We look forward to seeing you benefit from this additional resource.

P.S. This is a small additional investment in equipment which will typically last for the duration of a student's Master/Leadership program.

P.P.S. All equipment has been reviewed and is necessary only because of the use and enhancement it provides for each student to learn, practice, and benefit most from their experience to Black Belt and Beyond. All Sparring Gear is approved and widely used throughout our affiliate organizations and associate schools in the United States. It is proven to provide the most protection and is mandated by our Industry Association and Insurance Contract.

P.P.P.S Additional Note: UNIFORMS may only be purchased at the School and must be OFFICIALLY APPROVED S.J. Manning Uniforms. Please do not select any uniforms from the Website Catalog - Century is not contracted to supply uniforms and they will not be approved.

REMEMBER - Lowest Prices on Packages are Available Until April 30, 2005
