To get started:
 1. Give us a call at 236-5519 (our local West Hartford number) or call our toll-free number 1-800-552-KICK to talk to one of our instructors about what you or your child (or both) would like to accomplish through our program. We will also set up a time to take a trial class to see if our program is right for you and your family.

2. When you come in, you will be greeted by one of our professional instructors. One of us will then discuss what goals you have for you or your child (fitness, self confidence, self discipline, respect, self control, etc.) and also go over some easy things.

3. After the trial class, we sit down and go over the program in detail. If you wish to continue at that point, we have a variety of enrollment packages to suit your interest level.

 

 
When can I start?
The way our curriculum is set up for our students allows a new student to begin at any time.
Am I too old to participate in Karate?
Not at all. We have had the priviledge of working with students into their 70s and 80s. Our adult students have seen great benefits to their health, their fitness, and their ability to cope with daily stress.
Is my child too young to partipate in Karate?
It really depends on how well they can follow directions in a class. We set up an introductory lesson with one of our instructors right before their first class to see if your child is ready. Next, we will have your child try a group class to see how he/she does in a group setting.
What can Karate do for my child?
The simple answer is ANYTHING!!! It really depends on what you want your child to get out of our program. Martial arts isn't just about learning to punch and kick. It is a way to develop positive traits in your child. Some parents come in looking to develop Self confidence and create a positive self image in their son/daughter. Others want their child to be able to sit still and learn how to focus in class or at home. Some would like their child to be able to become responsible for themselves and be able to do what they know they should do without being told.
My child has ADD/ADHD. Can he/she still participate?
Of course. We have had many students in the past come in with disabilities, and it has helped them a great deal with their focus and concentrating abilities.
Do you offer Birthday Parties?
Yes we do. Just call us at our local number so we can give you more information about the different party packages that we offer. In order to schedule your child's birthday we need to know at least 3 weeks in advance so we can order the invitations and everything.
I have 2 children that are different ages, can they be in the same class?
We try to make every effort to have your children be in the same classes together to make it easier on your schedule.
Can my child be in the same class as his friend?
Generally speaking, yes. We group classes by age and ability, and make every effort to keep friends together.
How long does it take to become a Black Belt?
It takes approximately 4 years for a student to progress from White Belt to their Black Belt.
How much does it cost?
It depends on your level of involvement. We have many packages available for all of our new students
Do you have family discounts?
Yes! We encourage family participation and have great opportunities for families.
Do I have to make long term financial commitments upfront?
No, we have introductory packages that range from a week to a month which let you try it out before enrolling.
Is there a contract involved when I enroll?
One of the things we know that adults and parents are concerned about is being locked into a contract like a lot of cell phone companies and gym memberships do. We don't do that here. YOU have complete control. If you want to stop, you can do so at any time without any penalty or worry on your part.
