Age, sex, physical condition, and body strength are not important. We have taught students from 7 years of age to 60 years of age, men and women of every body type and different levels of physical ability. Students are from all walks of life and everyone progresses at their own pace. We recognize that students join for different reasons. Children join to release energy, gain better focus and increase coordination while having fun. Adults join to get in shape, learn self defense and/or get a new challenge.
