For
those that do want it, and are willing to train
at a more serious level, we offer the OKAMI-DO
'ADVANCED TRAINING PROGRAM', developed exclusively
at the Warrington Kickboxing Studio.
This is where a Student trains a minimum twice
weekly Kickboxing, and also runs twice weekly.

The people who have decided to enrole on this
program are then entered every two months into
a Belt Grading
and an Amateur Competition.
This very unique system that we use for these
individuals, once they pass their first Belt (
See Gradings
), is called Cycling.
Four Weeks intense Fitness-Training & Sparring
Skills training which then peaks with an Amateur
Competition.
This would then be followed by four weeks Technique
& Skills training which is then concluded
with a Belt Grading
Assessment.
In total an 8 week
program which gives an individual
a short term goal, that although is not easy,
is attainable, and once completed leaves a great
sense of achievement.
If a Student successfully follows this regime
it is usually around 18 months that a student
can pass the prestigious Senior Grade of 'BLACK-
BELT'. By which time they would
have competed several times, passed all their
required exams and have the Certificates and Trophies to show for their achievements.

At this point, with the OKAMI-DO
KICKBOXING Skills and Knowledge
that they have now attained they could pursue
the path of either Professional Competition with
the aim of one day becoming a Champion, or they
could even start training to become an Instructor
themselves!
NOTE:
Although you are reading about the OKAMI-DO 'Advanced Training Program', and about Gradings
and Competitions, none
are compulsary. Many of our members
are just happy to train for Fitness
and Self-defence purposes and no matter which
area that you choose to pursue your Instructor
will give you 100% support.
However, most Martial Arts Schools do not offer
both Gradings
and Competitions or indeed the Advanced Training Program, and this
should considered when choosing a School to join.
Although you may initially feel that you would
just be happy training without ever Competing
or Grading, should you start to develop your skills
to a very good level, at a later date, maybe after
several months, you thoughts may change on this
and you may then wish to test yourself.
If unfortunately you have enrolled at a club
that does not offer the above, then obviously
you could not then pursue these areas.
That is why Warrington
Kickboxing Studio, is setup to
cater for everyones needs, be it Fitness, Self-Defence, Gradings or Competition.
Any further questions? Its not a problem, I will
be more than pleased to help you solve them.
