How
do I enroll my child?
Parents may contact
the school regarding enrolling their
child anytime throughout the year. The
parent and intended student have an
interview with the Head Instructor or
Program Director prior to enrollment in
any RMA program. Following the
interview the intended student has a
trial lesson with one of our instructors.
Following the trial class the potential
student may join the club on a RMA
membership for 3 months or 6 months. The
length of membership is up to you!
Can I
afford the lessons?
RMA believes every
person should have the opportunity to
participate in the martial arts. Tuition
is based on student attendance giving
families the ability to have RMA programs
fit into their family budget.
How big
is the class?
At RMA we believe
in personal attention. All of our
programs have a student teacher ratio of
6:1.
What
style of martial arts does RMA Karate
Centres teach?
We teach Genki-do
Kempo Karate for Japanese, Okinawan,
Korean and Chinese martial arts. Our
styles include Shotokan, Goju-Ryu,
Chito-Ryu and more.
How
long will it take to master the martial
arts?
It takes many years
to master the martial arts but important
lessons are learned every step of the
way.
How
long will it take to get my Black Belt?
It takes an average
of 4 to 6 years for an adult to attain
Black Belt level and at most times a
little longer for children.You cannot
achieve your Black Belt until you are a
minimum of 16 years old although younger
students may become Junior Black Belts at
an earlier age.
Will
my child want to fight if he joins?
Some believe the
martial arts to be violent and aggressive
because of how it is portrayed on
television and in the movies. Martial
arts subdues the overly aggressive,
hyperactive child and draws out the more
passive, introverted child.
Don't
you have to be young and strong to begin
training?
You can start
training at any age. Everyone works at
their own level. This is true no matter
what belt you attain. Safety is our
number one concern and if an
exercise or activity hurts or feels
uncomfortable, you are not
required to do it.
Will
my child take what she learns to hurt
someone?
Students are taught
never to practice on their brother,
sister, neighbour, and especially on
anyone in the school yard. Martial Arts
is for self-defense, not fighting. The
very last thing a student should do is
enter into a fight. If they can find a
way out of a confrontation they should do
so.
Can
parents stay and watch during class?
Parents are always
encouraged to stay and watch.
Are
you involved in the comimunity?
RMA Karate Centres
believes in community involvement. We
participate in charity events in the
community throughout
the year and welcome our students to be
part of our community involvement.
