Schedule and Ranking

At the Danielson martial arts school we offer many classes to our students. We have plenty of black belts in the school at all times, so you or your child is able to get one on one teaching if needed. We also have many events this coming year for the students to enjoy.
Our class schedule is regular classes are held on Mondays and Thursdays. Children from six to eleven are from 6:15pm to 7:15pm and then twelve and up are 7:30pm to 9pm. Those classes are based on teaching the children or students what karate is all about. With a little bit of forms, sparring, techniques and self- defense. Self defense is takes a very important role in karate. This is why we dedicate a Tuesday night class from seven to eight to teach the students more and more self defense. This class is also optional where it does not cost more money to take it.
There is also a karate gymnastics class on Saturdays from one thirty to three that is open to the public. This is where the students can go and learn more than just karate in regular classes. Also on Saturdays there is such thing as demo team that is open to all ranks to join in the beginning of the year.
But of course we do have a Friday night class dedicated to learning weapons from six to seven. The only thing is with that you must be a purple belt to join and within the next two Fridays of a grading that is usually held on a Wednesday every two months.
This brings me to my next point about ranking. Every new student begins as a white belt and slowly moves up in rank. The pace all depends on how fast of a learner you are. The ranks consist of:
White Belt, orange, blue, purple, green, red, apprentice-black, and black belt. Each belt does consist of different gups and once you reach apprentice-black it has a minimum of one year and other requirements which are learned when you receive it.
Basically what I am trying to say is that karate is a lot of especially at Danielson Martial Arts because it’s like one big family. So if you want to join come on down or go to our website
