SADDLER/STRONG'S

WELCOME SHAW MONTESSORI STUDENTS
The Beginners' Karate session goes beyond kicks and punches. It also gives students a greater understanding of Martial Arts, styles, history and philosophy and a clearer sense of how self-defense skills can work in the real world (not like in the movies). In addition to discussions and practice of situational awareness, classes can help a student develop habits of self-improvement.
Registration for this session (Feb 2nd - Apr 20th) is now closed.
We are sorry for any inconvenience and are hopeful you can join us at a future session.

Questions:
Will my child need a uniform?
No. Uniforms or other gear is not required for the beginners' course. Students should wear loose or athletic clothing for free movement. (no skirts or dresses please). Classes are conducted in bare feet.
Will my child be fighting/sparring or competing in tournaments?
No. Beginners train with little to no contact. Depending on progress, some light contact drills may be conducted with a measured count under the instructor's close supervision.
My child takes martial arts elsewhere. Does their rank (belt) transfer into your class?
No. The styles and standards can vary greatly from school to school. These classes will introduce our standards and practices to beginners. However, if your child is all ready adept with some basic techniques, they may progress faster. For this course, we will not be tracking rank or level. But, you may find more information on our ranking system here.
