Lion's Pride Martial Arts Additional Training Programs
S.T.O.R.M. Leadership Program
Ages 8 – Adult
Meet the S.T.O.R.M. Team members! Selected students and instructors meet once a month for training on effective instructional skills, being a role model on the mat, and leadership skills for life outside the studio. Leadership Class members put their training into practice during regularly scheduled classes. Our S.T.O.R.M. Team members debrief with an experienced instructor after each class that they assist in. Leadership Class members have the opportunity to advance through a separate belt system until they reach the rank of instructor.
Sparring Classes / Fight Club
Ages 8 – Adult
Fight Club is for 2 kinds of students: students who want to get better at sparring, and students who just want to get better at everything! We teach solid, proven fight combos, build speed and reaction time, and focus on building strength and confidence in each student. Our goal is to prepare students to go up against opponents who may be bigger than themselves. Our solid sparring drills, speed challenges, and sparring practice will hone your skills while you are having a blast.
Weapons Classes
Ages 8 – Adult
Students with a desire to take their martial arts training to the next level can join our weapons and acro class. Bo staff, sword, and nunchucks are taught in rotation, with students learning first a basic, and then increasingly complex techniques and forms. Acrobatics appropriate to martial arts are also covered. Weapons class students often participate in competitions, although there is no requirement to do so. Students invited to weapons class are those who demonstrate great behavior in their regular classes and consistent practice at home. Weapons class is a great way to add flair and creativity to your martial arts!
Competition Team
Ages 7 – Adult
Competition Team is for students who want to compete and put in the extra time and effort to reach new levels of excellence. They commit to extra classes and practice times and attend mandatory tournaments each year. Competition Team members regularly place highly in the regional karate circuit for our area. Our sights are now set on competing successfully at the national level. Effort = Results!
Lion’s Pride students regularly attend competitions and come home winners! Young students and adults compete in their respective divisions. We learn how to better practice Tang Soo Do and how to best represent our school through friendly competition with others. Students DO NOT have to be members of the competition team in order to compete in tournaments.
