Will martial arts, karate make my child aggressive or violent?
No way! In fact, it's just the opposite. Martial arts makes kids calmer and more respectful than ever. Children who have a positive outlet for their energy, who are taught self control and who participate in activities that boost their confidence and self esteem, have proven to be calmer, less prone to violent outbursts and more easily able to resolve conflict without becoming physical. They are also taught to understand that with acquired skill comes responsibility.
Martial arts is about peace, helpfulness and disciplined respect, not violence & disrespect.

Can I or my child do martial arts, karate if he/she is not the athletic type?
Yes! Martial arts is for athletes and non-athletes alike. In fact, martial arts is often a “home” for kids who don't excel at team sports. Kids who have trouble in baseball, basketball, etc. often come to martial arts and do extremely well. And it's okay if your child is not athletic right now. Through our classes, they'll get in great shape and become very athletic. There are no bench warmers at our academy! Just awesome students & families.

What do I wear to class, when do I get the uniform?
We believe in having students earn their uniform. This sets the foundation & mindset of working hard to achieve a goal, similar to working hard to achieve each belt stripe & belt rank advancement.
For the Free Trial Class students simply wear sweatpants & a t-shirt. When students sign up for our beginner special (our confidence building course), they receive a Free Goshen Martial Arts t-shirt to be worn during class.
After the completion of the confidence course, students who have worked hard and are chosen to continue with our program will be awarded their uniform during a graduation ceremony.

How does testing work, and are there fees associated with testing for rank?
No, we do not charge our students for testing for rank at our academy. Each student advances at their own pace, with Attendance and Effort being the keys to regular advancement. You will progress through a series of stripe promotions, and after showing proficiency in each curriculum area, students earn their next belt rank.

Do you fight or spar in class?
No, we don't "Fight". What we do is work on body control and help students learn the value of self-respect and respect of others.
We do spar, and sparring is an important part of a student's training. It is non-contact, and it helps each student develop Courage, Confidence, Focus, and Body Control.
Sparring is not part of our Tiny Tigers or Junior's Class curriculum, it is included in our Junior Advanced through Adult class curriculum. No student engages in this aspect of their training until after he or she has demonstrated that they have the proper skills and foundation needed. Students wear protective gear including gloves and helmets (available for purchase at the studio) when sparring.

Are all Karate studios the same?
NO! There is a HUGE difference in our academy and with the exceptional program we offer our students. You'll notice the difference the moment you walk in the door. The warm family atmosphere, the smiling faces, the cleanliness, the respect, manners & discipline of the students & staff and the overall experience that is meant to make each and every family member feel comfortable and happy to be there.
What's the difference between Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Tang Soo Do, Aikido, Jiu Jitsu, Kenpo, Karv Maga, MMA, etc...?
The difference in style isn't nearly as important as the quality of the instruction being taught.
There are so many styles that a person could spend a lifetime trying to figure out which one is best for them. Our program has nice combination of each of the styles (and then some) listed above. The primary influence is from Tang Soo Do. (This is the style that Chuck Norris Mastered in.)
