What is a Traditional Martial Arts School?
First, this
type of school simply follows, Tradition.
At Guerrero’s Shotokan, we belong
to a Federation which Governs our curriculum and we use the Belt Ranking system
established by the Federation. We Bow
when entering the mat area and Bow to our Instructors. Respect is a cornerstone to this type of
training. We address our instructors as
“Sensei” to reflect the respect for each of them.
We learn the
Traditional Katas and we learn how to apply the techniques in the Katas through
the study of Bunkai. Students are not
allowed to test for the next Belt Rank unless they know their material very
well. As the Student progresses in Belt
Rank, they must learn to teach and handle a class on their own. We do not test every student every 6
weeks. Each student tests when he or
she is ready.
Discipline
is enforced in class. The students must
be engaged and working on what the Instructor asks them to do. If the student is not paying attention or is
disruptive, push ups will be assigned to the student by the Instructor.
This type of
training is so valuable for children and young people. The training carries with the student
through their primary and secondary years in school and into College and into their
Career. Students learn self control,
self discipline, self motivation and how to set and achieve goals.
Do the
students have fun? Yes, they have a
great deal of fun because they are not wasting energy misbehaving and
disrupting other students. They are
learning the history of the Martial Art they are studying and learning to
defend themselves with the techniques they practice.
I highly
recommend a Traditional Martial Arts school for any Family who has an interest
in helping their family and children succeed.
