We like to honor previous experience when it is possible for us to do so safely and fairly. Please come into the office to discuss your prior martial arts experience for us to determine if you are eligible to be ranked above white belt at registration. Bring your rank certificates, belts, uniform with a school logo or membership card with you.
[Students advance at their own pace. Some test sooner than others due to this. We have a minimum set at two and half years to train before a student can become eligible for black belt. ]
[Tests are scheduled every other month. Students must have the minimum number of classes required and know the material to test. ]
[Training is essential to learning martial arts. There are items that are required to properly and safely train at Pearl River Oriental Martial Arts College. Items can be purchased as needed from Pearl River O.M.A.C. when they are required: Regulation dobahk, foam dipped head gear, foam dipped hand gear, foam dipped foot gear, foam dipped shin guards, mouth guard and case, groin protection for males and t-shirts for females, kicking target, practice knife, staff, nunchucks and shinai. ]
[Tournaments are an additional event that we occasionally attend or host. These are not mandatory for advancement or membership.]
