Frequently Asked Questions

1.What ages of children do you teach?

We take children five and older and we evaluate three and four year olds before
deciding if they are ready to begin.

No we have many adults as well as children, and families are always welcome.

3.What is Aerobic Kickboxing?

Aerobic Kickboxing is a class that is focused on improving your overall fitness.  You
can start any time and at any skill level.  This class is targeted toward women;
however men are not discouraged from participating.

4.What are the women’s self defense sessions?

They are dedicated to women who want to be able to defend themselves.  Women
will learn an easy system to defend against multiple types of attacks that may occur.

5.What is “Open Floor”?

Open Floor is an extended office hour that we use to clean the school.  At this time
the rings are open to students for individual, non instructed practice.

6.Are there mandatory training days?

No.  We believe in a flexible training atmosphere.  After you sign up, you come
when you want.

7.Do we sign a contract?

No. Currently we have monthly tuition.  Although if you prefer to pay for multiple
months, please speak with the instructor.

8.Is there a fixed start-up date?

No. We start each student with an introductory program which will ease you into
the full monthly program.  Each student starts at their own time and continues at
their own pace.  No two students are alike.

9.Can parents stay for class? Do parents have to leave for class?

Although some children learn better either with or without their parents, Spire
Karate School leaves the final decision up to the parent.   However, young children
should be accompanied due to overall building rules Spire Karate School must
adhere to.

10. (Questions about Martial Arts Lineage/Qualifications)

Who taught my instructor is as irrelevant to my Martial Arts Instruction as who
taught your parents how to be parents. How I run my school is my own
management style. It is as unique from my instructors as his was from his
instructors. If you are interested in learning how I teach, or am qualified to teach
Martial Arts, please look at my Bio on this page, if you don't find that to be
satisfying, please don't bother to come insult me by questioning my ability to teach,
just come in and watch some classes and make up your own mind.
