Class Placement Policy

Here at the Shin-Gan Dojo we have five classifications of classes; Kids I, Kids II, Young Adults, Adults I and Adults II.

Kids I

These classes are reserved for kids between the ages of 5 - 7 and children who are not yet ready for the Kids II class. The classes are designed to be a fun active class without the pressures of testing or belt ranking. Typically the child will learn the martial arts discipline and moves without the worry of performance or memorizing sophisticated moves.
*Children who move from the Kids I to the Kids II will already have an idea of the fundamentals which will help them feel part of the new Kids II class where they start the testing process.

Kids II

These classes are reserved for kids between the ages of 7 - 12 , children who can handle this more sophisticated level of training. The class teaches kids discipline, etiquette, punches, kicks, takedown and throws. It gives kids answers to common school yard scenarios.
*Children who move from Kids II to the Young Adult classes will begin their new training at white belt. Though this humbling experience of starting over at white belt may not be desired it is necessary in order for the student to grow in this art.

Young Adult

These classes are reserved for teens ages 13 - 18. This class will prepare teens for the world of adult classes. The curriculum emphasizes etiquette, tradition, punches, kicks, takedowns and throws designed to build a solid foundation of martial arts principles with an emphasis on real life fighting scenarios.
*Again, teens who move from Young Adult classes to Adult classes will be expected to start their adult training from the white belt status. Experience has shown us that this method of starting over only enhances and reinforces one’s training without leaving gaps when introduced to a more advanced Adult I class.

Adults I

These classes are reserved for new to intermediate level students. All adult students start at the Adult I level until their advancement and commitment level shines through in the art. Adult I classes lays down the principles of all martial arts. This foundation gives the students the ability to defend against all types of attacks with an emphasizes on real life fighting scenarios.

Adults II

These This class teaches the art to its fullest degree therefore dedication level is paramount. In this class students are shown Kuden (secret teachings) and advanced techniques which are normally taught only to instructors. Adult II classes are reserved for advanced students who join ANBF. This very traditional class is by invitation only.

*Placement of students in the various classes is at the sole discretion of the Shin-Gan Dojo instructors.
