Specific training available.Tryouts/SeasonThe season can go half year or full year; it depends on the athlete’s preference. Facilities usually welcome athletes at any point of the year, so tryouts are when they decide to join.

Moving AbilitiesMost athletes stick to one or a few specific track and field skills, such as: sprints, endurance, hurdles & jumps, etc. In order for athletes to move up a level, they must have their mind already set on what skill(s) they enjoy doing. It is important that athletes have training and knowledge in: warm-up, technique/form, agility, balance, coordination, self motivation, speed, and other aspects more specific to each skill before wanting to move up levels. Their performance at tryouts will determine the level they can participate in.

Martial Arts (Karate)

TypeLittle Dragons (karate for 4-7 year olds)Karate(Jui-Jitsu, Chin-Na, Systema, Grappling, Ground Defence, Sparring)

DivisionsLittle DragonsBeginner (white, red, yellow belts)Intermediate (gold, orange, purple belts)Advanced (green, blue, brown, black belts)KarateBeginner (white to yellow belts)Intermediate (advanced yellow to purple)Advanced (green to advanced brown)Black Belt

Cost/ParticipationIt costs $99/month for athletes to get training and attend any program that their facility offers. The number of hours an athlete spends training is up to the athlete. Although, it is likely that the more hours an athlete spends training, the faster they will get tested for a new belt.

Tryouts/SeasonWhen one wants to start karate, they don’t have to tryout as everyone starts from scratch (aiming for white belt). There is no season (it’s year round) unless an athlete competes in a circuit of tournaments. They will first go to the provincial tournament, then may advance to the national tournament, then team Canada and finally World Championships. An athlete in a circuit of tournaments will have a season that lasts a full year.

Moving AbilitiesIn martial arts (especially karate) levels are determined through belt colours. Athletes are tested for their belts, when their trainer(s) think they are ready. There is no fee for the testing in most martial arts facilities. When tested for a new belt colour, athletes are tested on several aspects such as: stances, strikes, chops, blocks, kicks, shuffles, and other martial art skills. If they pass the test, they will obtain a new colour belt and will continue to more elite training to one day be prepared for the next belt.
