UPCOMING CLASSES
RANK ADVANCEMENT
Omega Martial Arts every student begins as a white belt. Throughout the Little Dragons Program students will periodically have opportunities to advance in rank. Rank advancement occurs when a student has learned and practiced (many times) the required techniques pertaining to that rank. Practice is crucial to a student’s success in martial arts.
Each and every rank is divided into four specific sections of techniques: Basics and Kick Combinations, Sport Combinations, Self Defense, and Forms. Within each of these sections contains 2-4 techniques a student needs to learn. Once they learn the techniques, students will then be required to perform these techniques without the help of the instructor. Once a student can do this he/she will receive a colored stripe; this helps the instructor and the students track their individual progression. The following is a list of the sections and their respective stripe color:
– Basics & Kick Combinations – Red Stripe
– Sport Combinations – Blue Stripe
– Self Defense – Green Stripe
– Forms – Black Stripe
– Overall Review – Purple Stripe
OMEGA BELT RANKS
BELTS OBTAINED THROUGHOUT THE PROGRAM
TESTINGS
Once a student earns all of the above stripes, he/she is ready to test. A test will consist of the student performing all the required techniques on their rank advancement sheet without complications. If a student is able to do this successfully, they will receive their next belt. Tests will be held periodically when a group of students are ready. Students are to wear their white uniforms when testing. A note will be sent home prior to the test date letting you know all the details. A test fee will be required on or before the test day.
