Advancement is based on the student’s progress, ability and
knowledge accomplished through diligent study and practice of the martial art of
Karate. Special attention is given to children.
Students who train seriously can become competent in Karate
in about a year. Through consistent and continuous training, a student may
achieve black belt status in three to four years. Students advance at their own
pace depending on demonstrated knowledge, skill, and attendance at training
sessions. Training and knowledge of Karate does not stop when a student
achieves 1st degree black belt.
