Our basic Martial Arts program includes 2 classes per week. Black belt students have the option of attending a third class per week. It is very important to stay consistent in your training. Training too little or too much is a recipe for failure. Martial Arts is a lifestyle and should be something that enhances your life. Thus it should be done with moderation.
Testing & Promotion
We provide an educational, safe and fun class for everyone. We offer age and rank appropriate classes. Students must meet minimum requirements for attendance and knowledge of the curriculum before they are able to test.
At the beginning of each month, a test schedule is posted on the bulletin board and on our Monthly Test List web page listing students who are eligible for testing and promotion. All Students testing for a belt must complete an Intent to Promote form and return it to Sensei before the test date. Those students who pass their belt test will be invited to attend the graduation ceremony.
Belt testing and promotion generally takes place every 2 months on a Friday evening. Check the school calendar for dates and times.
Please plan your schedule accordingly so you will be able to attend the test. We are unable to promote students privately, so if you miss your graduation, you will be asked to wait until the next month’s ceremony.
Make Up Classes
When a student misses a class they are encouraged to make it up immediately. All make up classes must be scheduled through the front desk.
Class Schedule Changes
After enrollment, an instructor guides the student in choosing two classes that best fit that student. These are the two classes the student is expected to attend weekly. Along the journey if there is a schedule conflict, please call or stop by the front desk in advance so that Sensei Steve can provide a new schedule that best fits that student.
Dojo Protocol
Please take a moment to review these basic guidelines. We truly feel that adherence to these traditional common courtesies will greatly enhance yours and everyone else’s enjoyment of the school. Let’s work together to create an atmosphere that is safe, friendly and fun.
- Quietly prepare for your class, remove shoes and coats, place them in the cubbie area. Be careful not to disturb the class as you sign in and warm up on the side of the dojo.
- Keep your uniform and equipment clean.
- Practice good hygiene.
- Remove all jewelry.
- Learn to tie your belt properly. Your belt is a sign of your progress and should be treated with the utmost respect.
- Demonstrate a formal bow as you enter and exit the dojo floor.
- Introduce yourself to your fellow students whom you do not know and make them feel welcome.
- If you bring a guest, introduce them to your instructors.
- Small children must be supervised and not allowed to run, climb or play loudly.
- No gum chewing or snacks allowed in the dojo.
- Enter each class with spirit and energy for learning.
- Remember: “He who is afraid to do too much…always does too little.” Work hard and encourage your teammates to work hard as well.
- As a member of our team, we’re counting on your enthusiasm and contribution each and every day, train at least twice a week and make up missed classes immediately.
- Never miss graduation, get extra help to stay on schedule.
- Never forget your goal-Black Belt Excellence!
