Everyone has questions there first time not to mention excitement fear of the unknown and a lust for knowledge. Here is a list of common questions that may help you out your first class.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How much is it?
Do not worry about the price at first. I am just giving it out to show we have nothing to hide. Try us out for a few classes with no contracts to sign EVER.
Classes are $35 a month with $5 less for every other immediate family member that is with you. ($35,$30,$30 ...etc)
Tests are - for beginner belts $25, Intermediate belts $30 and Advance belts $35 (This is over a pierod of 4 years) This pays for the belt and certificate.
You do not need to buy a uniform from us but it must be a black uniform for beginners. Most time, the instructors can get them for you for possibily a cheaper cost then you can get it. You do not need a uniform until you are ready for your first test (3-4 months)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is there anything special I have to do to show up at my first class?
No, all you have to do is show up and ask for Sensei Lester or instructor at the time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What should I wear?
Just a plain t-shirt and jogging pants. It is not a good idea to wear jeans or a dress, You should remove all jewelry because it may be damaged or caught on your person causing injury.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a child that wants to join how old does the child have to be?
Most children under the age of 6 have a difficult time with focus and motor skills for a 2 hour class and should wait until around age 7 before they can achieve the best maturity for the sport. This does not mean that they cannot start at a younger age if they can show proper maturity for a few classes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have previous experience in another style of martial arts do I need to start over as a white belt?
This depends on what type of martial arts you took Ryu-Kyu-Kempo is a traditional style that places strong emphasis on quality technique and knowledge of kata. There is usually something that can be done about wearing a higher rank belt that you have earned.
