What do I wear?

Something loose and comfortable for your first black belt leadership lesson would be fine. This first lesson will be a gentle introduction to the martial arts, not a hard workout.

May I bring a friend?

Yes. Most of our best Black Belts brought a buddy to their first class. You are welcome and encouraged to bring a friend.

You see, sometimes a new student may feel a bit awkward or nervous. Some of our best students felt that way when they first got started. And you know what we found? If a new student brings a friend, they have a lot of fun together, and this takes away the anxiety.

Who would you like to bring to your first black belt leadership lesson? Is there someone at school or work that would like to have some fun with you? Do you have a best friend, spouse, brother, sister, or parent who could use some exercise, discipline and leadership skills? When you do find someone to bring with you, give us a call so that we can be prepared.

Should I get there early?

Yes. It helps if you arrive 10–15 minutes before your lesson. Remember...we work by appointment only. If you are having a challenge getting to your appointment on time or need to reschedule, please have the courtesy to call at 315-699-1500.

What will happen in the lesson?

First, we'll give you a tour of our studio. Then we will discuss what you want to learn from martial arts, and of course, take your first black belt leadership lesson together. And after the lesson, we will show you how you can save over $100 with your VIP membership and receive a free uniform.

The whole appointment will take about 45 minutes, so please plan accordingly.
