Sidekicks Martial Arts Helps Students
Sidekicks Martial Arts helps students excel in school. Grandmaster Orange requires each student to have passing citizenship and academics in order to test for belt rank.
That means, if you are a white belt in Sidekicks, and you are ready to test for yellow belt, you need to have your school teacher’s approval. Your classroom teacher has to sign a permission to test slip. This indicates to GMO that you’re getting good citizenship and academics in school.
The same thing goes for yellow belts testing to green belt rank. And for green belt testing to blue belt. Yep, and from blue belt to red belt. Of course, it holds true for anyone testing for the coveted black belt rank.
Sidekicks San Diego has many, many black belt students in it’s ranks. There are more than two dozen practicing black belt students currently at Sidekicks. This is not to mention Sidekicks instructors, which are all black belts.
