It has been a great year so far for Innovative Martial Arts! We’ve seen a fair bit of growth and with that a need to live up to our name. So for the Fall we are introducing a new schedule and altering our class break down and progression path. As well as bringing a rank system into the adult classes.
1. Change of Rate
First and foremost, our rates will be changing in the fall. If you want to take advantage of the current rates be sure to get signed up quick. Once your signed up your rates are locked, so this won’t effect current members or anyone that gets in before the change.
2. New 3-4 year old program
Do you have or know anyone who has a 3 or 4 year old that could benefit from getting a jump start on basic motor skills, listening skills and working in a class / group setting?
We are launching a brand new 3-4 year old program, and regrouping our current kids classes from 4-6 and 7-13 to 5-7 and 8-13. All existing members will remain in the same class they are currently in.
This class will work as a prep course to our 5-7 year old program teaching them listening skills, co-ordination, balance and to be confident in a group environment.
This class has very limited space available due to needing a high instructor to student ratio, so act quick to ensure your child’s spot.
The new schedule will take effect August 29th, with the 3-4 year old classes launching after Labour Day weekend.
3. New Black Belt Club for Kids
The Saturday 30 min weapons class for kids is going to be expanded into 3 times per week. In addition to weapons we will also work on other special skills not done in the regular class and work on leadership training.
* This class is invitation only, for those that show commitment, effort and good self-discipline.
4. New Class Break Down For Adults
Adult classes will now be broken down into different levels, as well as competition prep classes. Level 1 will basically be the same as what the kickboxing class is now, with a little more self-defence stuff involved. Level 2 will get into the ground work and sparring.
The competition prep classes will change focus depending on what is coming up in the near future (Grappling, MMA, Kickboxing, etc)
This will allow us to have a little more clearly defined curriculum that is more appropriate for those in attendance, whether they are beginners or advanced.
The new schedule will take effect August 29th.
If you have any questions just ask!
