Strong Black Belts - fitness requirements and the power of consistant trainingA black Belt should be strong.
That makes sense, nobody imagines a black belt as someone out of shape, overweight and weak. On our martial arts journey we will work to become strong and fit. In our requirements guide "The path to Black Belt mastery" we lay out the minimum requirements by levels, beginer (White, Yellow and Orange) intermediate (Purple, Blue and Green) Advanced ( Brown, Red and Advanced Red) and last Black Belt. Beginer level students should be able to do 100 jumping jacks, 30 seconds of plank and 10 reps of push-ups, sit-ups, squats and burpees. Intermediate level students should be able to do 150 jumping jacks, 60 seconds of plank and 20 reps of push-ups, sit-ups, squats and burpees. Advanced level students should be able to do 200 jumping jacks, 120 seconds of plank and 30 oreps of push-ups, sit-ups, squats and burpees. Black Belt level students should be able to do 250 jumping jacks, 240 seconds of plank and 100 oreps of push-ups, sit-ups, squats and burpees. Now many will see this and believe that is just about fitness but it is so much more than just that. We are giving our students a path. Showing them the power of small consistant action to create big results. We often talk about how we will get from beginner level to black belt level. "It doesn't happen overnight and it won't magically happen while you are sleeping." We reach these goal one step at a time, one push-up at a time. We have found far too many people quit because that don't know how to set and break down goals.

These are the general giudelines for the path to Black Belt. In this entry we will list the basic timetable for progression through the belts on the path to Black Belt. Time in training is only one small part of the requirements. Time gives us an understanding of the commentment needed. Some students will progrss faster, some slower. The path to Black Belt in Kenpo karate is an individual achievement and no 2 paths are the same. White 1-3 Months - 12 classes minimum Yellow 3 Months - 24 classes minimum Orange 4-6 Months - 40 classes minimum Purple 4-6 Months - 40 classes minimum Blue 6 months - 48 classes minimum Green 6 months - 48 classes minimum Brown 6 months - 48 classes minimum Red 8-12 months - 96 classes minimum Advanced Red - 8-12 months - 96 classes minimum BLACK 5 YEARS - 460 CLASSES - 345 HOURS ON THE MAT Dojo picnicIt's almost time for our dojo picnic!!!

Students will see improvements in their schoolwork as well as in other sports and activities. So many parents these days come into the dojo saying "my child has trouble concentrating, he has no focus. " Maybe you can relate? I know I can as a parent. I knew focus and concentration would be major keys for success in whatever my kids choose to do in life. In our kenpo karate classes we show our students how to harness that laser beam focus through drills, stances and breathing exercises. If you would like your child to try a class, we offer a free 1 week trial. You don't need to buy anything. Just drop in to the next class that fits your schedule. ------------------------------------------------- "Whatever luck I had, I made. I was never a natural athlete, but I paid my dues in sweat and concentration and took the time necessary to learn karate and become world champion.

Call today for your complimentary intro week. 561-926-1846 www.BRKKA.com Our Members/Students and their safety come first at the Boca Raton Karate & Kickboxing Academy. This is why our staff is both CPR and AED Certified. Sudden cardiac arrest is the one of the leading causes of death in the United States for both men and women. Hundreds of thousands of people have cardiac arrest in the US each year. The heart suffers from an electrical rhythm problem and is no longer able to pump and circulate adequate blood and oxygen to the body. They symptoms are collapsing, losing consciousness and no longer breathing. Performing CPR keeps the blood supply moving and increases chance of survival over 2x from not being attended by a certified CPR specialist. Proper training and understanding of CPR is critical to this life saving act. Understanding proper technique, safety and legal ramifications are key to success. We strive to provide a safe, effective environment for both youth and adult in the martial arts as well as personal training and fitness arenas.

The core business of Boca Raton Karate & Kickboxing Academy (BRKKA) is to provide realistic self-defense instruction in both private and group settings. The BRKKA Dojo teaches traditional Tracy’s Kenpo and kickboxing under the direction of Sensei Doug Tate and wife Ms. Patty. The need for self-defense, martial arts training for both youths and adults is tremendous in this day and age for a multitude of reasons. Boca Raton Karate & Kickboxing offers programs that provide the following value and personal growth opportunities: 1. Self-Defense: This is number one reason that sparks most people’s interest in the martial arts. The martial arts teach the techniques of how to defend yourself, and as important, teach you the way to think about and prepare to defend yourself. They also help you build up the reflexes you need if you’re ever in an undesirable situation, and give you the confidence to fight back. 2. Self-Confidence: As students become more proficient in their martial arts training, their confidence gets a big-boost, becoming more self-assured and confident. The Sensei’s (Teacher’s) encouragement goes a long way to help them achieve this goal, but a strong confidence level will extend far beyond the Dojo (Martial Arts Studio). 3. Discipline: In the martial arts, there is constant repetition in drills and practices with strong emphasis on detail. There are rules and protocols to be followed. All of this teaches respect – respect for the Sensei, respect for the Dojo, respect for one another - both opponents and colleagues – and self-respect. It also teaches the benefits of frequent practice, and the skill of patience. While we agree that practice makes perfect, we enhance that statement to read – “Perfect Practice makes Perfect”. 4. Emphasis on Individual Achievement: While teamwork and sportsmanship are emphasized in most team sports, at some point most children need to be told why they aren’t a starter or why their stuck in right field. In the martial arts, each person’s success is based on his or her own individual merits and individual ambition will help achieve success. 5. Gender Equity: The martial arts are one of the few sports where both boys and girls can play together. Everyone can benefit from learning self-defense. It also gives brothers and sisters an opportunity to practice together and learn from one another as well (not to mention the convenience of having kids and parents in one place at a time). 6. Exercise: The typical martial arts class will often be comprised of warm-up calisthenics, teaching and practicing of moves and possibly some sparring. The warm up and practice comprise the bulk of the time, and for that time students will be constantly on the go – stretching, crunches, punches and kicks. The workout each student receives will not only assist in the natural development of his or her muscles, but also help them build stronger Cardio-Vascular systems. 7. Respect for Strength: As students train, they will learn to respect their newfound strength and techniques. They will also gain a disdain for bullying as well. 8. The Entire Family can Participate: Most martial arts schools offer classes for both adults and children. While most do not run those classes simultaneously, they are usually one right after the other. This means that you can watch your children workout, and then they can watch you. If you have the proper space for it, you can practice with each other at home, and learn from one another. This will give you a special activity to use as a bonding tool with your family. You can also become physically fit together as BRKKA offers family workouts multiple times every week. 9. The Never-Ending Season: The Martial Arts are a year-round affair. As mentioned above, your exercise routine remains constant the entire year. Having this consistency also helps build upon discipline, and allows students to progress very quickly. 10. Conclusion: Martial Arts provide both adults and child with an excellent physical workout, and also act as a vehicle to provide a mental and emotional outlet as well.
