1-2 hours per week. Students are encouraged to practice the techniques and forms on their own for improved retention and growth. Additionally, each belt will need to complete the "Home Rule" aspect. This will be explained in class as each belt has a different home rule. Also parents will receive a description via email.Assessment
Students will be evaluated for readiness throughout the 8 weeks and the last day of class will be the formal live test. Passing the test advances the student to the next belt.Class Experience
