OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Full Spectrum we endeavor to provide a very high quality level of instruction. The motto “Old school sensibilities, new school methodologies” is the hall mark for all systems offered from our group.
For children, this means that we have a traditional program designed to lay the foundations for advanced training. Their program is age-appropriate material, presented in a very disciplined structure where they are expected to be able to perform their material at a clearly defined standard of excellence. Sounds intimidating but we have a lot of fun. They learn true confidence that comes from having a skill that comes from hard work and dedication. Increased flexibility, discipline, focus, fine and gross motor control, basic tumbling, a leap forward on athletic ability and injury prevention are bonuses.
For adults this means that the instructors are very aware that people get involved in traditional martial arts for many reasons. Some for the novelty, some for the exercise, some for self-defense, maybe you want to compete or get better coordinated. That being said if you want the real deal self defense, we will have more of a focus than the average school, but taught having fun and getting in the best shape of your life at the same time.
DOS & DON'TS
1) Arrive 10-15 minutes early to class: We have a lot to prepare for before each and every class. Make sure you arrive early to give yourself enough time to get on the mat.
2) No jewelry or beauty accessories on the mat: These can seriously injure someone. Please make sure to take off everything besides what is required.
3) No fighting or horse-playing on the mat: The studio is for serious training only.
