The pace is slower, allowing more time for concentration on technique. Sensei Graham and upper ranking adults work with the class and with individuals to enhance progress. This class is for white through blue belts, although upper ranks often participate to review basics and to assist with individual attention to the newer students. Advanced classes assume knowledge of basics and are focused more on application of techniques. A wider and more advanced variety of self-defense, combinations of kicks and punches, and sparring techniques are taught.
Students also learn advanced kata and bunki, weapons forms, pressure points, and take-downs.
This class is for green belts and higher. All classes include mixtures of kicking, punching, self-defense, kata, and sparring. Discussion of various subjects from respect for others to the history of karate are incorporated into the learning process. Special Seminars vary and are held on Saturdays. These classes are sometimes limited to specific groups such as black belts or white belts.
