Beginners

At Tans we have unlimited training, up to 6 days per week. We recommend two classes per week as the perfect level of training for beginners. Whilst some students train only once per week, they fine it difficult to keep up beyond blue belt.

All our new students start in the beginner program to develop confidence in their martial art skills. Our students progress at their own pace. You cannot earn a black belt in a couple of months, it takes time, patience and perseverance. "Excellence takes time."  You do not have to be fit to start.  Some students come to us in good shape, some others out of shape and most students come to us with limited flexibility.

It is important to realise that when you are looking for a good Martial Arts school, you are really looking for a good instructor.  Every school is different because every instructor is different from school to school. Don't get confused by the different martial art styles. The only style that matters is the teaching style of the instructor and how you or your child will respond. You need to see an actual class to see how the instructor interacts with the students. Make sure you or your child participates in a regular class taught by the regular instructor.  Remember, instruction in the martial arts is one of the most important activities you or your child may undertake. Take some extra time to be sure the school you have chosen is the best for you.
