The Karat-A-Tots program is a maximum 2 year program that follows a curriculum designed to
prepare them for the regular Youth Beginners Class. Students start with a regular "White Belt"
and as long as they attend classes regularly, the will receive a new belt every six (6) months. In
between each new belt, they will receive a stripe on their current belt for each month of regular
attendance as follows:
·
Yellow Stripe
·
Green Stripe
·
Red Stripe
·
Blue Stripe
·
Black Stripe
Of course, along the way, they need to be able to demonstrate basic kicks (front, round, side),
punches (high, low, horse stance) and three blocks (high, low, and side block). AND, basic
dojang etiquette (bowing, courtesy, etc.).
When the student turns 6, they will be promoted to the Youth Beginner Class. This class is
designed in such a way as to aid former Karat-A-Tot students in the transition from the
structure of the 1/2 hour Tots class to the 45 minute Youth Class. At the end of 6 months, the
students will be ready to participate in the regular Belt Testing and receive their Orange Belt.
