Cadets

Cadets is a more comprehensive syllabus for children aged 7-13.

Our Cadets Program is split in to three levels:

Basic
Black Belt Member
Masters

The Cadets sessions have a more comprehensive syllabus, which will allow each student to gain confidence in every aspect of this complete martial arts system.

The Basic Program

The Basic Program is designed to give an entry level experience of the exciting world of martial arts. As with our other childrens programmes, Freestyle Karate is the art form being instructed.

Summary

45 minute entry level class.
They will start wearing a white Gi with a traditional belt and will have to sit special grading exams to acheive their next belt.
They will have a syllabus which they can take home with them and study. This will show them what is required at each grading to achieve their next belt.
As the gradings are held seperate to the normal classes, we ensure each student is ready to take them by operating a tabbing system.
In the first week of every month we assess each students attendance and their participation in the class and award tabs accordingly.

The Black Belt Member Program

The Black Belt Members program is the next step up for our Cadets in the Freestyle Karate system. Each student upon being invited onto the Black Belt program must abide by a more strict code, meaning manners and dojo etiquette will be more rigorously followed, and relish the challenge of working harder towards their next goal.

Summary

Students will at this level be required to learn how to spar for the first time.
Sparring is fighting with semi and light contact. Each session is strictly monitored by the instructing staff to make sure everyone has a fun, rewarding and most importantly safe time.
The belt system is a continuation of the previous Basic program within this level.

The Masters Program

The Cadets masters is our highest level program and is as you would expect tough and challenging. We expect only the very highest standards from ourselves as martial artists and as such, we expect a lot of our Masters students. For they are the best representation of who we are as instructors and how we are as a martial arts school.

Summary

In this program students will find themselves heading ever closer towards gaining their first black belt.
At this level students may already be competing in sparring competitions or performing as part of our demonstration group Team Evade.
If not, they may choose to help teach younger students and gain all the benefits there are to be had from sharing your experience with others.
