There are 3 steps to joining our club. First, join us on IMLeagues. Second, take the concussion test. Third, you did it! It is very important you join our Discord or Groupme, that is where we post all announcements and our primary form of club correspondence. It would be a nice touch to join us on Terplink so we can see who joined us. It's really very simple, just show up to a practice! There is absolutely no commitment, no money, and no uniform necessary. Just come with clothes to move in and we'll do the rest!

How does a practice work? |
Warm-up
As a group, we warm up (usually with a game) and then go through dynamic and static stretching. Lesson After that, the instructor for the day will lead a lesson for about 45 minutes to an hour. If you're new to martial arts, an officer will make sure you're started on the basics. A lesson is usually centered on a combative theme, for instance, double kicks or ground fighting. Once a week, a lesson is instead focused on a particular style, and it's the perfect time for a member to show off a style they're experienced in. Open Practice This is the time for each member to train how they want. How the last half hour of your practice is used is up to you! Our martial artists are always ready to teach some of their moves, or learn from someone else. This is the perfect time to ask questions about a lesson, practice those complicated katas, or watch two fighters show off their skills. |
