Basic Training Program
4-6 Year Olds
Students begin learning basic martial arts skills such as blocks, kicks, strikes , self defense techniques, and simple forms. Our program also incorporates a positive character development and life skills component, where monthly themes such as respect, focus, perseverance, self control, honesty, confidence, etc, are emphasized. Basic Training is a 6-9 month program where students begin their martial arts journey through the first 3 beginner belt ranks. We hav separate classes for 5-8 year old students and 8-12 year old students.
Fitness is a key element of all our martial arts programs. We help students build stroner and more flexible bodies, with increased coordination and balance.
Setting and achieving goals is a fundamental key to success in life. We set short and long term goals that are obtainable with practice, patience , perseverance and commitment.
As students experience new, exciting, and challenging martial arts skills, and continue to achieve their goals, confidence soars.
Black Belt Club Program
5-12 Year Olds
These students are commited to achieving their Junior Black Belt. This upgraded program includes sparring (which is NOT fighting), traditional competition, weapons training ( nunchuks, bo staff, kama and arnis) and increasingly more challenging forms and techniques. Black Belt Club students are also encouraged to participate in our leadership program.
Sparring
The purpose of sparring is for students to learn to maintain composure under stress and to practice timing on a live opponent. Students learn to respect each other as valuable training partners
Masters Training Program
This is our elite group of very dedicated students that have passed a Junior Black Belt test that is designed to challenge students physically and mentally. Masters students are ready to begin learning advanced martial arts skills in preparation for adult Black Belt.
Students earn their right of passage into this program by successfully completing a 3 month Junior Black Belt Boot Camp. These students have reaped the rewards resulting from hard work and dedication. They are our Junior Black Belts who are mid-way thru their journey to Black Belt Excellence.
