Congratulations on earning your PURPLE BELT!
As a purple belt, you will move up to the Intermediate Level of training. There will be a lot of new challenges in this level including new kicks and learning new forms.
Now that you are a purple belt, you need to join the United Fighting Arts Federation.
UFAF is the governing body for the Chuck Norris System and you must be a member in order to continue training and receive any higher ranks ... and eventually a BLACK BELT! UFAF requires a minimum of 30 months of membership before students are allowed to test for black belt, so we want to get your membership started NOW so that when you reach Red/Black belt, you will have the required time in and be eligible to try for your Black Belt. Visit www.UFAF.org and click "become a member" then first time member to join. We are Dunamis Karate in Region 7!
You will also be required sparring now.
We hold the Hyper Fight Club classes at least once a month on Saturday mornings. We go over sparring skills and drills then work them on a partner in sparring matches. Sparring is part of the black belt test, but we can't wait until black belt to start doing it. We start at purple belt. You will be required to attend at least one Hyper Fight Club sparring class per test cycle in order to be eligible to test for your next rank! To attend the HFC sparring class, you will need to purchase your sparring gear!
Sparring gear is available in the retail section of the Dunamis Karate app
