Our goal at Odyssey Martial Arts OKC is to use what we learn in class to impact our lives and the people around us in a positive way. Kung Fu is NOT about learning how to “fight”. We learn how to protect ourselves and use the techniques to sharpen our minds, strengthen our bodies and learn to overcome obstacles that are presented.
We promote our students based on 3 things:
Attendance: Each belt requires a certain level of attendance to be eligible. The higher the belt, the longer the attendance requirements. It’s important that we are constantly working to improve ourselves and help our fellow classmates as well.
Martial Growth: Your ability to express yourself as a martial artist and demonstrate the techniques is a vital part of the promotion process. Students should be able to demonstrate all techniques for the belt they are working on with competency.
Personal Growth: This one is the most important element for promotion. Our goal is to improve how you are as a human being, not just teach you how to fight. With each promotion we will discuss how you have improved outside of class and what impacts you have made on the people around you.
