Syllabus

Beginners Course:

In the beginners course, we will study the basic blocks, strikes and kicks. We will study the first kata, Heian Shodan, and start to study the second kata, Heian Nidan. We will also practice some prearranged attacks and defences with a partner. Towards the end of the semester, students should be able to perform and use basic combinations of the basic techniques.

A grading will be offered at the end of the semester, where those students who are ready can test for their yellow belt (8th Kyu).

Advanced Course:

Having graded for at least 8th Kyu is a prerequisite for this course. The students will study kata, kihon waza and kumite. Since classes will have students at different levels, the classes will be designed so that students can work at their own level.

A grading will be offered at the end of the semester for those students who are ready to test for their next belt.
