FAQs

How long does it take to obtain a black belt?

This varies for each individual. On three/four times week schedule you should expect the following development: one year to achieve Blue Belt, 3-4 years to achieve Purple Belt, 5-6 to achieve Brown Belt and 8-12 years to achieve Black Belt.

How easy is it to get started?

Most people feel some anxiety about starting a martial arts program, and that is why we provide individual attention in each and every class, allowing all students to progress quickly and confidently towards the more advanced programs. This system will make sure you familiarize yourself with the school, the instructors and also help you feel comfortable with the material you will be learning.

How old does my child have to be to start training?

We recommend that children start at 5 years old. However, since no two kids are the same, and there can be significant differences in coordination and maturity, we are willing to evaluate children younger than 5.

What is the ratio of Instructor to Kid?

Each time our class sizes increase, we accommodate with an increase in instructors per class as well. We attempt to maintain a 1 to 10/12 ratio of Instructor to kids.

Are there ever any tournaments in the area where my kids can compete in?

Even though competing is not a must, we indeed encourage children to do so, as it will help them develop focus, team spirit, hard work and will teach them how to deal with success and disappointment.

We try to answer commonly asked questions like these on the FAQ page of our website.
