It is not unusual for to join
the Young Tigers club after having trained in a karate
club elsewhere. Furthermore the club will not object if a
student wishes to train with another club as well as our
own.
Students must apply for
membership with our governing karate association before
being allowed to join in our classes.
This is for insurance reasons amongst others.
Once becoming a member, most
students with coloured belts can join a class that
is appropriate
for
their
particular
level or grade.
Q: I recently joined as a coloured belt and was wondering
when I can be examined for my next belt?
A: The short answer is
"It may take a while"
This is because there are often slight
differences in the testing and examination
requirements
between one karate
school and another. It is quite
common for students to take a while to adjust to
the syllabus especially if joining after a period without
training.
Among other things karate
is about improving ones character as well as ability so please
be patient.
