October is shaping up to be an exciting month at Ticconi’s ATA! From reaching the next milestone in your martial arts journey to a spooky night just for the kids and finishing the month in the tournament ring, there is plenty to look forward to. Mark your calendars and get ready for everything October has in store!

🥋 October 6 & 7 — Testing

It’s time to show how much you’ve learned and take the next step toward your goals!

Tuesday, October 6 — Manistee Testing
Wednesday, October 7 — Cadillac Testing

Students who are ready to test can scan the QR code posted at their school or use the registration link sent by email to view testing times and register.

IMPORTANT: Students MUST have their Ready to Test stripe before registering for testing. If you’re unsure whether you are eligible, please speak with your instructor before registering.

We’re excited to see everyone step onto the floor, demonstrate their hard work, and work toward that next rank!

👻 Friday, October 23 — SPOOKY Parents’ Night Out | 5:00–9:00 PM

Parents, enjoy an evening out while the kids join us for a SPOOKY Parents’ Night Out at our Cadillac location!

We’re packing the night with pizza, games, a costume contest, and plenty of Halloween fun! Come dressed in your favorite family-friendly costume and get ready for a fun-filled evening with your ATA friends.

Please sign-up at the front desk!

🏆🎃 Saturday, October 31 — SPOOOOOKTACULAR Tournament!

What better way to kick off Halloween than IN THE RING?!

We’re finishing October with our SPOOOOOKTACULAR Tournament, and this one comes with a Halloween twist: YES, costumes are allowed during the tournament!

And don’t worry about missing out on your Halloween traditions! The tournament will be held in the morning, well before the evening’s Halloween activities begin. That means plenty of time to compete, head home, and get ready for trick-or-treating, parties, and all of your other Halloween plans!

We’ll also be holding a costume contest for BOTH kids and adults, so we can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Whether you choose to compete in costume or simply dress up for the fun, all costumes must be family-friendly and appropriate for tournament participation.

For appropriate coverage, anyone wearing a skirt or shorts must have leggings or pants underneath. Midriff-baring or low-cut tops are not permitted. Costumes should also allow competitors to move and perform safely.

Bring your competitive spirit, your Halloween creativity, and your ATA pride. Start Halloween with us in the ring, then head out and enjoy the rest of your SPOOOOOKTACULAR day! 🎃🥋🏆

🍂 We’ll See You in October!

From testing and earning that next rank to costumes, games, competition, and Halloween fun, October is going to be a great month at Ticconi’s ATA!

Be sure to check your email and school announcements for registration information, times, and additional details as each event approaches.

We can’t wait to celebrate accomplishments, make memories, and enjoy an incredible October with our ATA families!
