Teen/ Adult Curriculum Overview

Thank you for choosing San’s Martial Arts. The intent of this manual is to help you (or your child) understand

the curriculum and expectations we have set in place for advancement. Please understand that in many situations

you will be exposed to other skills and know more than what is required for promotion. These guidelines repre-

sent “minimums” that you are required to know.

Please use this guide to help in your study. It is a reality that these skills are challenging. Without practice at

home, you may take longer to promote from one rank to the next. Martial arts training is about “individual

achievement through group effort”. Not everyone will promote at the same rate nor do they need to. Develop-

ing skill should be the ultimate goal. It is my hope that we can work together, like the three points of a triangle, to

enrich everyone’s experience to its fullest. If you ever have a question, don’t hesitate to ask.

Students start at 10th Gup and move backwards in number towards 1st Gup. Eventually they become a “Cho

Dan Bo” or “Black Belt Candidate” and finally promote to 1st degree Black Belt (*if they are 16 years old or old-

er). If your attendance is consistent, if you are highly motivated and can demonstrate the techniques required,

initially, you can promote every three months. It is not uncommon, especially at higher levels, for a student to

need more time between belts. Once you reach the rank of 1st Gup there is a minimum requirement of 6 months

between Red/Stripe to Blue Belt and 6 months between Blue Belt to Black Belt. This is a 39 month program

roughly, however due to life events, most students will take longer to reach this goal. Once a student is “in sync”

with the belt testing cycle, they should continually be preparing for the next belt test with the understanding that if

they are not ready, they will have to wait for the next test. Our rule at San’s Martial Arts is, “We don’t ask about

testing”. We will let students know when we feel that they are ready for possible promotion.

Please note: If a child moves from the Junior program into the Teen/Adult class. The traditional curriculum is

essentially the same, however, the requirements and expectations are slightly different. There is also a different

Self-defense curriculum. There will be an initial adjustment period which will most likely add to the length of time

between testing.

(*1st degree Junior Black Belt is a rank that is awarded to children under 16 years of age. Adult 1st degree Black

Belt and successively higher ranks are reserved for people ages 16 and older. This distinction is made based on

maturity, and experience I reserve the right to make acceptations to this rule on a case by case basis).
