Class Description

ALL LEVELS means that students of all ranks and ages from age 8 and up are welcome to train. These mixed classes offer the richest training experience for beginners and black belts alike.

FLYERS CLASS emphasizes tumbling and techniques involving large throws. All students who know how to fall safely are welcome to attend.

TEST PREP CLASS Students of all ranks are welcome to attend test preparation class when offered. We will learn to understand the testing process and the expectations of each promotion test. Students will train to perform their very best at each test. Please make arrangements with your mentor to come early or stay late to go over requirements for your upcoming test.

UKEMI CLASS pays close attention to common sense attacking, using proper distance, and falling (tumbling) safely.

ADVANCED means only for brown and black belts.

WEAPONS CLASS will have at least a portion, if not all, of the class focusing on either traditional weapons (bokken, jo, tanto) or more modern ones.
