White/Yellow Belt Level
This is an introduction to martial arts training. The student learns basic blocking, punching, and kicking techniques. Students begin to learn hand and foot combinations and how to perform Kata, a pre-arranged fighting sequence. In addition, the children learn how to handle stress and improve focusing skills. Yellow belt training also includes sparring with equipment and simple board breaking techniques.
Orange/Purple Belt Level
The emphasis is on developing concentration skills. The movements are more detailed, requiring better memory. Kata, a pre-arranged fighting sequence, is more advanced at this level. There is more contact through “shoot fighting,” a hybrid of sparring and grappling.
Blue/Brown/Black Belt Level
These are advanced belts, heading to black belt. Emphasis is on mastering detailed sequences called “Katas” and memorizing self-defense techniques for rapid response. At this point the student feels comfortable with all aspects of karate and is practicing to master their martial art.
Jiu-Jitsu Class
New choice (for orange belts and higher) offers specialized training for your little dragons. These classes can be taken as supplements to your regular weekly class. In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you’ll earn an additional belt in the art of throws and groundfighting. There are no katas or kickboxing in this class. Check the schedule cards for times and locations.
Black Belt Club
Our Black Belt Club is designed to supplement the student’s karate class and fast track club members to their black belt. This class will have black belt instructors working on katas, weapons, techniques, and forms necessary for junior black belts. Students must be enrolled in a regular karate class at Nan’s in order to be enrolled in the black belt club. Tuition is $33.00 per month in addition to your regular class’ tuition.
