Quick Information

Twenty (20) Frequently-Asked Questions are listed here below. We will do our best to update this list and keep it relevant to your needs.

1: How do I start?

There are four (4) easy steps to start:

1st - GET ASSESSED - The 15-minute Assessment + Q&A session safe, online, in real-time, by-appointment, and FREE! Karate training with us is individualized so this is an important step to getting the best results. Have our facilitators answer your questions in real-time. This e-meeting is a great way to know about our methods and to explore how the program will work for you. Book a schedule [HERE]
2nd - PICK A CLASS / SIGN UP - Pick the type of class you want, check RATES, then settle your tuition / confirm your reservation either thru on-site cashiers, bank transfer, or GCash. See all classes [HERE].
3rd - SHOW UP FOR CLASS - Wear clean workout clothes on your first day - preferably jogging pants and a shirt. Shorts are okay too. Uniforms are best! Get to class at least 15 minutes early so you'll have time to change and warm up. Present your enrollment receipt or proof of bank / GCash transfer to the instructor in exchange for your class card.
4th - ENJOY - Nervous about your first day? No worries, your Sempais (translation: seniors) will be there to help you get settled. Don't be shy to approach your Sempais or instructors for help or to ask questions about the lesson -- there is no such thing as a silly question!
