Allow older students to choose training classes every day of the week. Our  philosophy of cooperation and self-challenge is designed to encourage students to progress  both physically and mentally. All senior students are expected to help junior-ranked students.  Competition is only within yourself. Beginning a martial art as an adult can be overwhelming  and a tremendous challenge. All we ask is that you always try your best and aspire to improve  each time you come to class. If you walk away from each class with one more sit-up done, one  more technique learned, and a positive experience each day, then you are successful!  Supervised open mat sessions are available where students may practice on their own. We  encourage all students to train hard and train frequently. Students may select any day of the  week to train and are encouraged to experience every class that is offered within their rank.
