Our Goals – Better Martial Artists

Looking beyond a form ‘good enough’ to pass a grading – you’re enhancing your explosive power and execution of techniques.  Novices doing a very good form get a very good mark, seniors doing more complex forms the challenge is greater, as is your skill level – who can get the best marks doing their respective forms?
