The children learn martial arts skills in the context of these "8 essential skills".  The program goes far beyond mere kicking, blocking and punching.  Academic achievement, physical conditioning and peer interaction are emphasized as well as life skill development such as dealing with bullies and stranger awareness are taught.  Promotion tests are offered every 6 months and are announced in advance.  In order to test for their next belt, students must have good attendance, and permission from both the instructor and their parents.
