VALOR COMBAT SYSTEMS STRUCTURE
Our students focus on individual growth, working towards specific goals at their own pace. These goals are awarded with a different coloured belt each time they reach a new skill level. They are taught that each belt is earned through hard work and dedication, not just ‘given’ to them - a principle to encourage self-esteem and maintain motivation.
All beginner students wear a White belt and thereafter grade in the coloured belts as per the Belt Table.
Techniques are broken down into small stages to help the student learn gradually. Repetition of movements aid fluidity, understanding, spatial awareness and co-ordination. Emphasis on self-control and concentration is taught to help the students maintain focus with their partner (uke) – resulting in improved teamwork and socialisation skills.
Competitive activities within our classes, teach our students to allow others to take their turn, see things from other points of view and accept that sometimes failure is unavoidable – a format to build a stronger character.
GRADING BELT TABLE
WHAT IS A GRADING?
A Grading is a practical assessment of your Martial Arts skills. To progress to the next level and achieve a new belt, you are required to pass a Grading (exam). Each student focuses on individual growth, working towards specific goals, at their own pace. These targets are awarded with a different coloured belt, each time they reach a new skill level. Students are taught that each belt is earned through hard work and dedication, not just ‘given’ to them - a principle to encourage self-esteem and maintain motivation. When a student is deemed to be proficient, their Sensei will invite them within their class, via a letter presentation.
Grading exams are held every 4 months. However, not every student will be invited due to the time they have trained and their progress
