Our Curriculum
Earning a Black Belt is a significant milestone in a martial artist’s journey. With consistent training (2x per week) and successful testing, a student can potentially earn their 1st Degree Black Belt in a about three years. However, this journey is unique to each individual. Remember, the Black Belt isn’t an end goal; it’s a mark of a serious, dedicated student ready for the next level of training.
General Questions
For the best results and steady progress, we recommend a consistent schedule of two classes per week.
Consistency is the key to building skill, confidence, and momentum. Students who maintain a regular schedule integrate more quickly, build strong relationships with instructors and peers, and look forward to their time on the mat.
