Just like and fine university... There are policies in place to ensure a safe, productive and educational environment. Listed below are some basic guidelines and information we'd like to share with you.
We offer two different beginner programs: Program one students are able to attend class 2 times a week. Program two students are able to come to class as often as they wish. Our classes usually do more sparring the first two weeks of the month and more forms and self defense the last two weeks to prepare more for belt testing.
We have three separate curriculum programs, Little Dragons, Junior and Adult. Children who are age 4 start in the Little Dragons program, children 5 - 10 start in the Junior program and children 11 and adults start in the Adult program. All programs teach the same requirements between white belt and black belt, but they are broken down more for the children. Our Little Dragons program has 25 belts before Adult black belt, our Junior program has 16 belts before Adult Black Belt and the Adult program has 10 belts before Black Belt.
Our Intermediate program starts at Yellow for Adults and High Yellow for Little Dragons and Juniors. Black Belt Club is a program for students who want to continue till Black Belt. Once in the program they receive 10% off anything they purchase, they have no more test fees, they are able to come to class on Fridays to learn special seminars and may start learning weapons at Blue belt level.
Our testing is always on the last Wednesday and Friday of the month. The Wednesday test is a Stripe test. If you are not testing for a new belt you should always be at the stripe test. This a requirement of everybody, but is most important of the juniors. The Friday test is the belt test. Students must meet the minimum requirements for attendance and knowledge of the curriculum before they are able to test. If for some reason you are not able to attend your belt test you must call your instructor before your test to schedule a time to test. It is only respectful to let your instructor know you won't be there.
