How many
classes per week should I attend?
We recommend two classes per week, plus a certain amount
of practice time in between classes as the perfect level
of training. This allows the student time to work on material
between classes and become proficient before new concepts
are introduced.
Will
there be other beginners in my class?
At Premier Martial Arts, all students are grouped by age
and by rank. In this way, you will be in a class with
students at your age and skill level. In addition we will
also assign you a "buddy" so you can quickly learn about
the school from an existing student.
Will
the Premier Martial Arts program make my child overly
aggressive?
At Premier Martial Arts children are taught that the martial
arts are not to be used in aggression, but rather to defend
oneself in problematic situations. Aggressive behavior
is channeled into assertiveness to increase the child's
self esteem, increase self discipline, and build character.
Our program also helps the shy child to develop self confidence
and become more assertive.
Will
my classes be safe?
Absolutely. All classes taught at Premier Martial Arts
are strictly monitored to ensure complete safety.
What
about sparring?
All students interested in sparring are required to wear
the best protective equipment available on the market
and are strictly supervised. Consequently, the chance
of injury is very small.
How long
will it take for me to become reasonably proficient?
The time it takes to become proficient varies with each
individual depending on the effort they put forth. At
Premier Martial Arts, students are very often amazed by
their own ability and accomplishment in as little as
six months. This training will give you the confidence
of knowing that you can defend yourself in most situations.
Your real goal, however, should be to attain the rank
of Black Belt. This level of proficiency typically takes
about three years. Once again, however, this will vary
depending on your level of effort and desire.
