 During the white belt tests, students are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to request a demonstration if they are not sure how to do something. This option is only available during white belt testing and Sensei would rather they do this than try to guess, or do it wrong over and over.

 

 

 

DVD'S of what your student needs to know are available from Sensei. They may use this to practice at home.    

REMEMBER- Everyone learns at a different pace so don't get impatient or frustrated. Proper technique is most important. Here at BMAP we do not believe in fast tracking through the ranks but rather in learning the true way of martial arts.
