White to Green Belt

Beginning martial arts

White to green belt

When you join as a member you will receive a new uniform. The uniform and belt are white. Everyone wears the same uniform, with different coloured belts indicating students with more experience. You may also see some trainers wearing a Black Uniform, this indicates that they are fully qualified Instructors. The white belt and white uniform is symbolic and indicates that you are commencing from the beginning and are basically a clean slate ready to learn.  After 10 lessons you are ready for your yellow belt grading.  Ten lessons would take you about 6 weeks of consistent training. This will be conducted by Andy Dickinson. The grading is not difficult and you will be well prepared.  At your first grading (white to yellow belt) you would have established  a regular training practice therefore will be fitter and stronger and more centred than before. From yellow belt it is 15 lessons to green tip then 20 lessons to green. If you can commit for 6 months and get your green belt, you are well on your way.
