What is a good age to start training in Karate?
The school is represented by students of all ages. If you have the desire to learn, age is not a factor. Children as young as 3 ½ are actively thriving in the Pee Wee Karate program. 5 year olds are ready to start the beginning children’s program. 13 year olds and up train in the adult program. We have solid Black Belts from 9 years old up to 65.
What if I am not athletic?
Regardless of athletic ability, all students start as a beginner white belt and are taught the necessary requirements for the next belt level. Every student will find their strong points as well as challenging areas. Athleticism will increase with each month of training for all students. Strength, balance, focus and coordination are just some of the rewards Karate promises to offer.
How long does it take to get a Black Belt?
For dedicated students who train on an average of 2-4 days a week, a Black Belt can be attained in approximately 4 ½ years.
How do I sign up?
Just call or stop by. A representative or instructor will give you a schedule of class times suited for your age and level. There are classes designed for you each week and you can start immediately. Simply call 310-589-9797 and leave a detailed message with a phone number where you can be reached.
How much does a membership cost?
A monthly fee of $185 will be charged to your credit card of choice or checking account. There is a discount for each additional immediate family member. All memberships are annual; however, students may cancel for any reason with 30 days written notice. There are no exceptions to our cancellation policy.
Are there any other fees?
All new students need to purchase a uniform which we will provide (approx. $60). Testing fees start at $40 and will increase with each year as your belt levels intensify. A patch with our school logo is mandatory for proper testing attire.
