Individualized Training

But the "5-key Rating System" is more than a system for physical development in martial arts.  It encourages the development of well-rounded martial artists who are also contributing members of the community.

Attendance

• Students need to arrive to class 10-minutes early ("on time")
• Students will attend classes at least 2-3 times per week, for the minimum number of weeks as defined by the current belt level.
• Students are encouraged to attend more classes.  Students will receive credit for all classes they attend on-time
• Attendance cards are designed to help students track their attendance requirement

Knowledge

• Curriculum is defined at each level (basic, intermediate, advanced, black belt.)  We expect that students demonstrate mastery of the curriculum in order to promote to the next level.  
• Belt levels have shorter-term goals that are designated by the earning of a "stripe" on the belt.   
• Students are expected to maintain their skills from all prior belt levels. 

Spirit

• We expect students to come to class with a positive, "ready-to-work" attitude.  This attitude is demonstrated throughout class time through energy, enthusiasm, and a willingness to do their best every time.

Fitness

• Our motto is, "Do your best!  Who's best?  MY best!"  We expect students to show progressive physical improvement, increasing endurance -- aiming for their "personal best."

Dojo Protocol

• To themselves, peers, parents, older/younger karate students as well as members of the community - teachers, neighbors, peers, etc.  
• To all Black Belts - we address them as, "Sir/Ma'am, Mr., Mrs., Ms., or Miss."
• To  our school - we salute (bow) upon entering/exiting the karate floor.  We also show respect to our school by assisting staff in keeping it clean, safe and presentable.
• To fellow students and our instructors - we "focus our eyes, focus our minds, focus our bodies, Ma'am/Sir!"  We remain quiet and respectful before, during, and after class.  We expect this of both visitors, parents and students.
• To each other and our community - we are kind, thoughtful, non-judgmental, honest, supportive.  We also behave with integrity both in and out of the karate school.
