The goal is to organize Kyokushin Karate classes in Metro Detroit Area opened to everyone able and willing to train. The students are divided into age cathegories. The minimum age is 7 years old. There is no maximum age. We strive to comprehensively learn all aspects of Kyokushin Karate as a martial art not only through phisical training but also studying its history, philosophy, Japanese culture and language. Training regularly and continuously we work on our discipline, attention, flexibility, conditioning, and strength in time improving fighting and self defense techniques.
The growth of the student is awarded with the promotion to a higher kyu or dan. After showing sufficient knowledge both theoretical and practical on the exam the student is allowed to wear another belt that indicates a higher rank. Picture to the right shows all the ranks in order.
