frequently asked questions

When can I start?

New students can begin any day of the week. Please give us a call to schedule your orientation class which we offer before your first class.

How often do I come to class?

In order for you to learn and retain the skills and to achieve the positive habits necessary to become physically fit, beginners are expected to attend classes two times a week for the first six months. After that you may decide to traing more often. We'll talk more about that later on. For now, just get into the habit of coming to class twice-a-week ready to work hard and learn all you can.

Do I have to be in shape before I start training here?

One of the biggest misconceptions about studying martial arts is that you have to already be in shape to learn. Most students come to us looking to get in shape and to develop a healthy lifestyle by learning something interesting that they can do for the rest of their lives. Two months after you start you will feel so much better, you won't believe it.

So, how long does it take to earn my black belt?

Everyone progresses at their own pace, but the average time it takes to earn your black belt is around four to six years.

Will my training give me the confidence to take more chances in life?

Definitely. Martial arts successes can be carried over into daily life. If, for example, you can see how you’ve accomplished breaking a board to earn your yellow belt, then why can’t you go in and ask for a promotion at work? Understanding that you can accomplish what you set out to do is a great discovery achieved through consistent training.
