Class Structure and Expectations

• We expect our students to become members of the national federation, to regularly test and get promoted through the ranks to get their black belt where the real learning begins. We expect students to participate in regional & national events as they are able.
• Classes are structured so that we cover all aspects of the art, from the physical: kicks, blocks and punches, forms and sparring, proper breathing and posture to strengthen and protect your body, to the non-physical: learning the history and traditions of the art, building mental muscles of discipline, respect, awareness of self and others, listening to your body.
• Classes are open to everyone ages 6 and up. For young children, they must be able to stay focused for 50+ minutes for a class. We teach all ages in a single class setting and adapt to the students in the class to meet them where they are at in their own growth.
• As with all Martial Arts, Soo Bahk Do is a life-long journey that requires commitment. Practice regularly and continuously to reap the full benefits for your mind, body and spirit.
