As 2024 unfolds, Dojo Physical Arts is excited to announce significant enhancements to our class structure and schedule. These updates are designed to deepen your Karate practice and provide a more tailored learning experience.

Refining the Kihon Class

The Kihon class at Dojo Physical Arts is evolving with a renewed focus on the fundamentals of Karate. This class will concentrate on techniques foundational to developing a strong Karate practice, suitable for all levels up to the Black belt.

This allows for:

• Mastery of fundamental techniques, ensuring a solid base for all students.
• A structured environment tailored to reinforcing key skills.
• An ideal setting for both beginners and those looking to strengthen their fundamental skills.

Introducing Advanced Kihon

We're proud to unveil Advanced Kihon, a class designed for students ready to explore more complex aspects of Karate.

This class replaces the existing "Kihon - Green Belt+" and features:

• Exploration of advanced Karate techniques.
• A focus on deeper learning and skill advancement.
• A 1 1/2-hour format, with the latter half primarily intended for senior students.

Yellow belts and higher may participate in the first hour of Advanced Kihon, after which they may be respectfully asked to bow out, allowing the class to focus on more senior techniques. This structure ensures that all students can grow at a pace suited to their level.

Young Tigers Program Enhancements

We're enhancing the Young Tigers program, extending the time our younger students spend in this class to ensure they are thoroughly prepared for their transition to the Kihon class.

This change brings:

• A comprehensive training experience for our youngest karatekas.
• A smoother transition to the Kihon class, ensuring readiness.
• Development at a pace that builds confidence and fundamental skills.
