We use Introductory Lessons to introduce techniques to new students. This process can take a month or so and is really determined by the effort put in by the student. Some learn faster than others, so it is very individual. The Introductory classes are held during the regularly scheduled classes, so new students get the opportunity to meet and get familiar with some of their peers. The fee for these classes expires after 4 weeks, or 8 classes. At which time, enrolling in the First Year program is necessary.
It generally takes a student a year to get comfortable with the program. Making two classes a week is usually sufficient to progress through testing at the beginner’s level, so this rate reflects attending twice a week.
Once a student progresses into the Intermediate program the tuition rate changes because they will need more access to the program to stay caught up. This new rate provides for unlimited access to the program.
Rates are not quoted on-line as they change frequently.
A character-based, balanced program designed to integrate martial arts training with the benefits of fitness training. Students work on a variety of techniques that help them learn the basic martial arts skills of blocking, striking, and kicking, along with improving their gross and fine motor skill development.
The last five minutes of each class are dedicated to a “mat chat” that involves a monthly character-enhancement theme with weekly installments. Each week, students receive a coloring sheet to complete and turn back in for special recognition at the end of the month.
Once a student has attained the required skills, we will consider him or her for advancement into the White Tiger program.
