Karate – Advanced Level
Our students who have reached the rank of Green Belt to Black Belt continue to perfect their art by attending ADVANCED LEVEL classes. If they haven’t yet reach the rank of Black Belt, the probability that they will is very high. They are role models for our beginner and intermediate students. Black Belts (Senpai) assist our instructors in class, learning how to teach.
Our advanced level classes require focus, determination and diligence. The level of difficulty is high and every new promotion necessitates a firm commitment to train seriously.

Our advanced level students keep perfecting their technique and display an undeniable commitment. Every Belt Promotion Test represents a bigger challenge and feeds their motivation. They are ready to work very hard to pursue their journey.
