Your fitness and flexibility will improve dramatically while you learn how to avoid dangerous situations and develop strategies for making quick decisions when the pressure is on. Our qualified Instructurs keep lessons interesting and fun. Below is an excerpt from our code of conduct.

Welcome to the Hoshin Jutsu School of martial arts

As a new member, you will have lots of questions to ask as you travel along the path to black belt. This book will help to make your journey easier and more informative along the way. The Code of Conduct is a guide to your behaviour within the dojo. It is expected that you will demonstrate good conduct before, during and after training. This will allow a more effective, enjoyable class to be taught, as instructors are able to focus on teaching rather than discipline.

The Student Creed sets the high standard which we endeavour to maintain in a world which can be confusing and full of negative influences, through a constant reminder of who we set out to be. It is difficult to climb a high mountain, or even find the mountain when we do not have a clear pathway guiding us through the forest. The creed is a clear pathway that will allow us to fulfil our highest aspirations. The grade requirements are a guide to ensure that you fully understand the techniques in a level before moving on to the next grade. All basics need to be learned to have a safe training environment enabling more complex movements to be integrated once a good foundation has been established. Grades are used as a guide to your progress to show your understanding of techniques.

The first year of your training has been set down in this manual to encourage effective home study as well as use as a reference in class. Please bring this manual to your regular classes.

"It is not the will to win - it is the will to prepare to win".

This is a famous statement which rings true, so let's prepare ourselves to succeed in life by doing the extra ten minutes of study at home when we find the time rather than watching the repeats on TV again, or committing to home study training sessions. It has been proven that the more training you perform on a weekly basis, the better your retention skills due to familiarity.

The Red Belt Challenge is a stepping-stone for increased willpower and discipline in your life in overcoming those things that hold you back the most from achieving your full potential.

Although you are studying a martial art and not a language degree, it is very helpful and interesting to have a reference to assist you in understanding the meanings of some terms that will be used in class. Japanese will mainly be used. This will also enable you to understand much martial arts literature as well as giving some insight into the culture.
