Level Up Your Skills…

BBM Program: Intermediate

Our Black Belt Member program is where students truly start their journey towards their Black Belt. Students build on the foundations built in our Novice Program. Students start to learn more advanced techniques and combinations, requiring more focus, and they work on self-defense involving more advanced grabs and strikes, basic sweeps and throws and basic ground movements. It is here that you will start to notice other martial arts (aside from Karate) that have been incorporated into our martial arts system such as Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Kung Fu, Muay Thai, Kobudo, etc..

Students will gain: good habits; increased stamina and improved energy levels; positive body imaging; cultivating life skills like time management, self-discipline and confidence; understanding the responsibility and privilege of becoming a role-model; and differentiating between virtual and real.

Students in the BBM Program expand their skills and learn new ones, including sparring and begin some basic weapons training (Kobudo) with bo

THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE

  • If you want to raise confident, respectful, honest, hard working, disciplined and happy children, then this is the place to start. Both my son and daughter have been members of NKS Ajax for over 6 years and have loved it.

    Reena Arora Varjavandi

  • My 7 year old son (blue belt) has been a part of The Northern Karate family since the beginning of last year. We are extremely proud of how far he has come in such a short amount of time and all credit goes to the dedicated, encouraging, and knowledgeable staff at NKS who have instilled in him various qualities such as discipline, confidence, and independence.

  • What can I say! This has been the best most positive experience for both my son and myself. He’s so different from when he started and he’s had the best senseis that taught him how to be confident strong and most importantly, stick to something to achieve greatness in it.
