SPARRING • WEAPONS • GRAPPLING • GYMNASTICS
⚪ Black Belt Club is NOT a fast track to Black Belt! It is a membership program that invites students to participate in extra classes to expand their self-defense capabilities and knowledge. Already enrolled adult students are invited to join for FREE!
In the sparring class, you can expect more detailed instruction on various styles of sparring. Though primarily focused on "continuous sparring" which involves medium-intensity contact with takedowns, sweeps, and submissions, we also cover point sparring to prepare (selected) students for tournament competitions!
In the grappling class, you can expect to develop the framework of your grappling skills, combining American Kenpo lessons with Judo throws and Jiu-Jitsu grappling techniques.
In the weapons class, students can expect to progress through a variety of weapons including the bo, nunchucks, sais, kali sticks, and broadsword. In specialized drills, students also learn how to defend themselves against various weapons including sticks, knives, and bats. The most advanced students are given the opportunity to expand their horizons to weapons outside our typical norm, including kamas, meteor hammer, kwan dao, and more!
In the gymnastics class, students will develop their agility in drills to improve their flexibility, balance, body awareness, movement confidence, upper-body strength, leg-strength, jumping skills, and more!
