WELCOME!
H O N O R T H R O U G H T H E M A R T I A L A R T S
By enrolling in our academy,
you have made the first commitment towards
what will hopefully be a lifelong involvement
in an exciting and highly rewarding field of study -
the martial arts.
As a new student,
many of the practices & terms you will encounter
will no doubt be confusing at first.
Be patient.
The first class can be the most difficult.
To help you get started,
take a few moments
to cruise about this website
and familiarize yourself with
the school guidelines, rules,
basic terminology, and belt structure.
This information should give you a little insight
and can make your beginning go more smoothly.
As a beginner,
you’ll find that during class,
upper ranking students can
work off to the side
with you for several weeks
until you feel more comfortable
and familiar with the moves.
You can also come to class
15 minutes early or stay late
and ask a senior ranking student for help -
you’ll find that they will
be glad to assist you.
Or, you can make an appointment with Sensei,
and she will be happy to work with you.
Material taught in the beginning lessons
should be practiced and learned.
Try to learn the material
at a comfortable pace.
We sincerely welcome you into our academy
and hope your journey is a rewarding one!
