Curriculum

Our curriculum is based on a gradual progression of both the number and quality of techniques. This is accomplished by a belt system which is further subdivided by a stripe system. Combined they present the student with a systematic progression of short and long term goals, in which students can easily chart their own progress without simply moving forward at the whim and favor of the instructor.
