All students begin at white belt level including parents. Progress depends on individual maturity, ability, age and perseverance. Registration includes the opportunity to attend any of our other classes held weekly at our other dojo locations. (Please see website for days, times and locations). Our program was modified 4 years ago from Taekwondo to Karate in order to provide a martial arts program for students to achieve any level of proficiency they desire. The system being taught is Tatsu Te Ryu Karate-Do and is based in Shotokan Karate. Most assignments are completed during class. Homework may include practice of katas (highly recommended) and scripture memorization, (among other suggestions). Parents are encouraged to take the class with their children. Belt tests are given to students who have pre-tested & shown readiness. Students who pass will receive an accredited belt rank at the end of each test. If requested, a Physical Education grade will be given at the completion of this course. (Students under the age of 7 require parent enrollment)
