As a sport karate school, students who wish to compete will have the opportunity to train with several NYS champions as well as nationally ranked competitors. Competition is optional- you will always have the highest level of instruction.
In the PMAI program, students progress through a combination of eight (8) belt levels (white, yellow, orange, green, blue , purple, brown, and black) with intermediate stripes. Promotion is based on traditional karate values: commitment, maturity, and skill. Katas, sparring, self-defense, traditional weapons, and musical forms are introduced at different stages of the program.
