FAQs

Q: At what age can you begin classes?

Age 6+, but if a child younger shows the attention and ability for classes then they will be considered. Likewise, if a student age 6 or up does not, they will be recommended to wait until they acquire these skills.

Q: What is a Martial Art?

A martial art can be defined as a system of techniques; physical and mental exercises developed as an effective means for self-defense and offense, both unarmed and with the use of weapons.

Q: How long will it take to become proficient and obtain a black belt?

Every student is different. The time it takes to become proficient varies according to your abilities. How long it will take you depends on how often you train, how hard you train, and how much you practice outside of class. Every student will take a test once they have mastered a set of skills necessary for the next rank. A beginner should think in terms of years (as opposed to weeks or months) before s/he begins to be proficient at the martial arts.

Q: Is meditation part of some religion?

At Oldham County Martial Arts Academy, we begin and end classes with meditation time. The meditation is used to clear the mind of distractions and gets it ready to learn or review what has been learned. It has no religious significance.

More information can also be found on the FAQ page of our website.
