FAQ Responses to Regular Inquiries
When do "seasons" start
Unlike many sports, martial arts does not have seasons. We offer classes year round and students can start at any time. We do not require a contract which means if you cannot commit to doing it all the time you can come and go as needed, just remember the more consistent you are are the faster you will move up in the ranks. All students will start as white belts and can start at any time and train right along side current students.
Can parents watch?
Yes! We encourage parents, siblings, families and anyone else who would like to watch to do so. You never know you may just love it enough to want to join right in!
How do we get started?
Come just prior to class starting time and see Grand Master Rick, Jan or any other black belt student. We will get you started. If you just want to watch for a class to see what it is all about that is great too. You're first few classes are free while you see how great it will be to join our school.
What uniform is required
Initially you can wear comfortable clothes that are good to work out in. You can work out in bare feet or clean wrestling type shoes. After you sign-up you can order a karate gi which includes pants and top and white belt. You have the choice of white or black. Not required, but you can also purchase a Standale Karate t-shirt which can be worn under your gi top but also can be worn on t-shirt nights and summer uniforms when it is a bit warm for full gis.
