Q. What is your current class schedule?
A. Our class for beginners is currently held every Tuesday and Thursday from 7:30pm-8:30pm. We also offer a trial program as well as basics, intermediate and advanced classes on various days and times.
What are the benefits of taking your martial arts classes?
A. Most of our students began taking martial arts to either get into shape or to learn effective self-defense. However, there are a lot more benefits that bring great value to our classes including:
- Increased self-confidence and self discipline
- Improved flexibility, coordination, balance and endurance
- Improved mental clarity and concentration
- Reduced stress and anxiety
- Ability to face adversity with a greater sense of calm
- And more!
Q. Do I need to be “in shape” to start?
A. No you don’t. In fact, getting started in our martial arts program doesn’t require any strength, flexibility or coordination. In time, these will all come as a result of our training drills and exercises.
A. There is a common mis perception that you have to be a kid to take martial arts lessons. That is simply not true. Most of my students started after the age of 18 years old. In fact, my first black belt started when he was 50. If he can do it, so can you! Read about other adults just like you who started training as adults!
Q. What age groups do you teach?
A. We exclusively teach adults over the age of 18 and do not teach children. In fact, we’re the only martial arts school in Salt Lake City Utah who exclusively focuses on adults. You won’t ever have to worry about learning from a kid or having them participate in the same class as you. Read why other adults just like you joined our martial arts school!
Q. What are classes typically like?
A. Each class is structured around the skill level of the participants.
In the beginning class, we focus on making the transition as smooth as possible as most students have no previous martial arts experience. Several black belt instructors and assistant instructors are there to help make sure everyone gets the time and attention they need so everyone gets answers to their questions.
The intermediate and advanced classes are also structured towards the more advanced skill level of the students and progressively gets more challenging. At these levels, we get into more about the finer points of the system and work on more advanced principles, concepts, and applications.
Each class is one hour long and follows the basic outline below:
- Stretching and warm ups (10-15 minutes)
- Basics and drills (15-30 minutes)
- Forms and sets (20-30 minutes)
- Techniques and freestyle (30-40 minutes)
Each class is kept at a good pace and we pause as necessary to answer questions – especially in the beginning class. This approach makes for a good workout for both the mind and body. We balance working new material and refining material learned in earlier belt levels. You will definitely get a great workout in each and every class!
Q. Can I start training without taking the trial program?
A. All new students are required to participate in our martial arts trial program before signing up for our regular classes. We do this so we can both make sure it’s a good fit before proceeding.
A. Very safe. Every class is supervised and taught by a qualified black belt instructor and everything is taught step-by-step in a controlled environment. We do not tolerate heavy-handed students, or bad attitudes or egos whatsoever.
Q. Do you accept every one who comes in your doors?
A. NO. We don’t accept anyone and everyone into our martial arts school. At the end of your trial program, you may be invited to train with us if we both feel it is a good fit. If a bully wants to come in and beat people up, that’s not going to fly here. That type of person will absolutely not be invited to be apart of our martial arts school. Ever.
Q. Do any other women attend your classes?
A. Yes they do! We have several other women in our classes so you wouldn’t be the only one. In fact, many of our instructors and assistant instructors are women. Read why other women train here and what they like most about it!
A. If you value a focused martial arts program exclusively for adults, that limits its class sizes where you can receive more personal attention, and you want to have access to multiple black belts in each class to more thoroughly learn the martial arts, then we’re probably a good fit for you.
We are not the lowest priced martial arts school around. The truth is, if you’re looking for a low-end service and you’ll settle for low-end instruction then we are absolutely not for you. However, we’re not the most expensive, either.
That said, we do offer a variety of different options so the monthly cost depends on which program you go into. The best way to determine this is to come in and discuss the options then decide which program is best for you.
You have our word we won’t put any pressure on you and you aren’t under no obligation by coming in to discuss costs. Don’t worry, we don’t even have a door on the office so you never have to worry about any high pressure, closed door sales techniques being applied.
Q. What if I sign up and decide it’s not right for me?
A. We’re so confident in our martial arts program that we offer you an unheard of 30 DAY RISK-FREE MONEY BACK GUARANTEE after you sign up; giving you the time you need to determine if indeed our martial arts lessons are right for you without worrying if you can get your money back.
