Weapon Warrior Program DetailsWho can join? -Adults, Juniors, Pre Teens, Tigers -Green Belt Dragons -Any member of your family… as long as someone in your family is already member of EDK. This is one of the first opportunities for members of a family to train together despite their age differences. WOW! What do I wear? -Students shall wear… White gi pants An official rank T-shirt A sash of their level No shoes or socks What will I learn? -In essence, you will study weapons, their history, skills and tactics, and how to use them for combat in a disciplined controlled environment. Finally there is a modern way to engage each other with weapons safely! Does it hurt to get hit? -The weapons used in this program are designed with a flexible core surrounded by foam. Although they feel like the real thing, they are designed give and still retain their original shape. Students will feel the contact of a full speed strike, yet will not risk injury.-To further protect from accidental injury, students will be required to wear specially designed headgear with a face guard and neck guard, and are recommended to wear a cup and mouthguard. Gloves will also be available for purchase if anyone desires that protection. -As always, it is imperative that students inform the Instructor of any injuries prior to class, and of any sickness or injury they may sustain in class. (Ex. Sprains, strains, cuts, abrasions, nausea, etc.) How will I progress? -Students will progress through different levels just as they do in Sa-Gi-Do, however, the level markers and colors will not be the same. We will be using a Japanese system of leveling. Students will earn sashes (a satin cloth tied around the waist.) The levels are as follows: Level 1 – no sash – Novice Level 2 – White sash – Novice Level 3 – Gold sash – Novice Level 4 – Orange sash – Intermediate Level 5 – Green sash – Intermediate Level 6 – Blue sash – Intermediate Level 7 – Purple sash – Advanced Level 8 – Red sash – Advanced Level 9 – Brown sash – Advanced Level 10 – Black sash Levels beyond Black Why should I join today? -Entering this program on the ground level is very beneficial to a student, since those who enter early will be the highest ranks in the class in the coming months. Not long from now, you could be helping to teach students just beginning the Warrior program. That is a very exciting proposition.How much does the Weapon Warrior Program cost? -Attached to this packet you will find a price list for all equipment necessary and a starter pack price. This will give you the opportunity to test out the program. If you decide it is not for you, the equipment is yours to mess around with. CONTRACTS No contracts Month to Month paymentsPay only for the months you wish to come MONTHLY FEES $30 per month – 1 day per week $40 per month – 2 days per week TESTING FEES $10 fee for testing. (Covers sash and certificate) On average test may occur every 3 months Promotions will be held during class times ADDITIONAL FEES Programs will need to be upgraded on Level Orange, Purple, and Black. This upgrade will include a new weapon, and a new T-shirt for the new level. (Ex. Level Orange will begin lessons on the Long Sword, and the T-shirt will now be Blue, signifying the Intermediate status.) Because of the cost of each upgrade, we will be compensating your test fee, and also including your first month at your new level FREE. That will save you $40 to $50.
