Our ScheduleOne of the most important considerations when choosing a Karate Program is PLACEMENT. Students should be in classes that are specifically geared to them. The placement of each student is based on age, size and level of experience. This is important not only when first enrolling but when the need arises to "move up" to a different class. The timing for class advancement is critical ~ done too soon and a student may become overwhelmed and frustrated; if not done soon enough then risk a lack of challenge with boredom setting in.The staff of instructors at Bodyworks continuously monitor the ever-changing needs of students. Parental observation and input, birthdays, and motivation levels are constantly considered to assure students are where they belong and will benefit most.

"We
love this class cuz it's wicked fun." The instructors always have exciting
things for us to do. Even though we are little, we are learning that karate
is more than punching and kicking. Falling on mats, practicing blocks on
foam covered blockers, punching focus pads, and, of course, learning left
from right is all fun stuff…BUT…we like it best when the instructors read
the notes from Mom and Dad, the Daycare or Kindergarten teachers telling
what a good job we are doing. Everybody in the waiting area claps real
loud and we get little gold stars that we put on our uniforms. As much
as we like it in this class, we heard that it's even more cool in the Ninja
Turtle Class…..
Having fun is a must!!! However, Ninjas have to remember
lots of really neat self defense techniques and forms. We are tested in
class every 5 weeks. We have to be good at BodyWorks and outside of there
if we want to get a new belt. We like the sparring, especially when we
get to wear that wild looking hand, foot and head gear that Mom and Dad
bought for us. The best part is when we do our Stranger Danger techniques
on the instructors. They grab our wrists or shoulders or try to pick us
up to take us away and we defend ourselves. The people in the waiting area
really like that!!!
"Yes, we are still having fun" although the expectations are much higher in regards to material requirements, self discipline and focus. Belt testing is more extensive and eligibility is determined by home and school behavior as well as class attendance. Ninjas look at this as the "big kid" class, and sometimes that may seem a little scary. When a transition is made from the Ninjas to the Dragon Warriors we make sure the transition is one of celebration and positive reinforcement.
Our young adults are a special group. They have matured and are taking a serious interest in their material. The issue of personal safety is important but we still need to laugh and have fun!!! Sometimes it is a challenge for us to address their transition from "kid" to teenager. To do this successfully is very important as they are in a unique stage of life. This is when they need our expertise the most.
Moms, Dads, young athletes, professionals, physically fit and not so fit, aunts, uncles, grandparents… Over the years we have learned how to accommodate a wide variety of students' needs by focusing on the common ground they share: an eagerness to learn; the challenge of setting new goals; and the need for an activity that is both fun and fulfilling. If you are looking for a program where you can progress at your own pace according to your own abilities with the benefits of better health and self defense skills, call us and become a V.I.P. We will support you, guide you and reward your accomplishments.
Students have progressed to the point where they are able to defend themselves from every conceivable angle and attack. Their knowledge of the Combined Kenpo System has grown by leaps and bounds. They are responsible for dozens of self defense techniques; they are reflecting the power of proper body mechanics (no longer are size and strength the determining factors); they are demonstrating the benefit of training ~ cardiovascular fitness, endurance, speed, power, agility, increased flexibility and growing confidence. Their goal? Black Belt Excellence!
Our Black Belt class is a "brotherhood" of sorts. Students have shared tough workouts, passed difficult belt exams, conquered plateaus, helped one another develop high skill levels and now can take pleasure and pride in knowing that they have lived up to the high standards we have set for one another and for future generations. These students represent the answer to the age old question - "How long does it take the average person to make it to Black Belt?" The average person doesn't make it to Black Belt. Our goal? Black Belt and Beyond.
FINALLY! You have qualified for the BBC. Your enthusiasm for the Martial Arts has grown to the point where you want more. Learn the art of weaponry ~ staff, nunchaku, kama, sai, katana and more. Train for our competition team Falcons and the Demo Team. Intensify your training in sparring, material blending and ground grappling. In short, train with a group of students who have made a solid commitment to Black Belt and Beyond with a lot of extras!!!|
