| White belt curriculum | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We combine white and yellow belts into white. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| White belt is where you learn the basics. Stances, front position and right foot out at elbows as well as class etiquette are taught to beginners at this time. If you are reading this, you should have been given a sheet regarding class etiquette. Remember to ALWAYS have a clean uniform, DO NOT come to class reaking of body oder. CUT your fingernails. ALWAYS take a knee when someone of an upper belt is donning their belt and take a knee when donning yours. Be polite and respectful. Always BOW after an upper belt has taken the time to teach you something. IMPORTANT NOTE: Not to be over dramatic, but because of the nature of the curriculum in Shaolin Kempo, we should be aware of any potentially violent situations. If you are in a volatile domestic situation, please let me or one of the other black belts know. You can always ask to speak to us after class, or for anyone who would rather speak to a woman regarding this issue, Allison Bankston is our women's self defense instructor and would take the time to listen to your concerns. Also, if you have a history of violent behavior, let us address that now rather than have us find out later.Our goal is self preservation and growth, not retribution and continuing violence. |
