Adult Training Programs

 

Our Basic Program is designed to help a student build a solid foundation to prepare for higher levels of training. On this program, students will notice improved strength, energy and flexibility. This program is for 6 month time period and classes can be attended 1 -2 times per week or up to 8 classes per month. Students have 4 classes to choose from and the class times are on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6:15 p.m.    The Tai Chi class is on Saturday at 11:15 a.m. 

Our Leadership Program emphasizes on daily life application  as well as how to become a leader in your own life. The program teaches Kung Fu forms and weapons and can bring a student to 1st degree black belt within a 36 month time period. Membership for this program is 2 to 3 times per week.  Please see schedule below for scheduled days and times. Although this program is by invitation only, it is not restricted to any belt level. A student may be eligible to attend this program with the Chief Instructors approval.

Our Certified Instructor Program (CIT) teaches students how to be in front of a class using a strong voice and body language. On this program students will learn about classroom dynamis and how to teach a martial arts class. This program also encourages students to participate in the Assistant Instrucor intership program where once a week they will come in to a UMAC class to apprentice and be coached by Sifu Pasquale.  This is ideal for teens to learn about work ethic as well as they can list the internship on their college applications. This class meets once a week on Thursdays at 6:00 p.m. and is by invitation only. 
 

The physical and mental benefits of Martial Art Training:

  • Many students with pre-existing injuries have found relief that was unavailable to them through conventional therapies.
  • Builds strength, flexibility, and increases stamina.
  • Learn how to defend yourself physically and mentally
  • Helps to develop many areas of the body not normally used in daily activities or conventional exercises.
  • Develop self-discipline and self control 
  • Improved concentration and focus.
  • Helps to reduce stress.

Training can help anyone develop these mental and physical attributes, regardless of age, background or physical ability.

  White Belt
"Pure and without knowledge of the Martial Arts. As with the Pine Tree, the seed must now be planted and nourished to develop strong roots."
The student has no knowledge of Martial Arts and begins with a clean (pure) slate. Purity is often signified by the color white.

3 stripes (any combination) are needed to pass onto the next Sash

  Orange Sash "The sun is beginning to rise. As with the morning's dawn, only the beauty of the sunrise is seen rather than the immense power." The beginner student sees the beauty of the art of Martial Arts but has not yet experienced the power of the technique. Orange is found among the many colors of the sunrise.

  Yellow Sash
"The seed is beginning to see the sunlight."
The student begins to understand the basics of Martial Arts. The sun appears to be yellow.

  Green Sash "The pine tree is beginning to develop and grow in strength." The student's technique is developing power. The components of the basic techniques are beginning to work in unison. As the pine tree develops, it sprouts green pine needles.
5 stripes are needed to pass onto the next sash

  Blue Sash "The tree reaches for the sky toward new heights." Having passed the mid-way point, the student focuses his/her energy upward toward black belt. The sky appears as blue.

  Red Sash "The sun is setting. The first phase of growth has been accomplished." The first day (the period of time from white belt to red belt) of growth is coming to an end. The physical skill has been developed but lacks control; therefore, physical and mental discipline must now be achieved. Variations of red are found among the many colors of the sunset.

  Red/Black Sash
"The dawn of a new day. The sun breaks through the darkness."
The previous day has ended, giving way to a new dawn. The student must begin a new phase of training; that of being a black belt. The red is the sun (in a sunrise) as it breaks through the black of night.

  Black Sash
"The tree has reached maturity and has overcome the darkness... it must now 'plant seeds for the future."
The color black is created when all the colors of the light spectrum have been absorbed into an object. That object has "taken control" of the colors and retained them. If one color was to "escape", the object would no longer be black but would appear as that color. He/she has "absorbed" all the knowledge of the color ranks and overcome or "mastered" that level or training.


The progression of color reflects an inner journey that never truly ends.
