How do I go from one belt to the next?
Each belt rank has specific technique and class hour requirements. You will always know exactly what you need to do to advance.
How long will it take me to get a Black Belt?
At Laurita Martial Arts Academy, Black Belts are neither handed out casually after a year or two, nor are they looked upon as a nearly unattainable goal a decade down the road. Three years for Karate and Haidong Gumdo and 7 years for BJJ are realistic goals.
How long have you been here?
With martial arts schools sprouting (and disappearing) like mushrooms after a spring rain, it's important to know that the studio you choose will be there year after year. Laurita Martial Arts Academy opened in 1999 and has continued to grow ever since, now with two schools. We are family owned and operated. (Some of our competitors are national franchises, like McDonald's.) However, we are Internationally Certified and affiliated with several of the most prestigious martial arts organizations in the nation. We will gladly give you details if you are interested - just ask!
What makes Laurita Martial Arts Academy your best choice in martial arts schools?
Superior Instruction for you and your child that will pay off in better training for you and your family. Many instructors and studio owners are "part timers". At Laurita Martial Arts Academy, Jerry Laurita is a full time Martial Arts Professional, not a part time hobbyist. We reinvest thousands of dollars every year in professional and educational materials. We attend (and present) frequent seminars from coast to coast and overseas, to bring you and your family the finest methods to help you and your family be the best you can be. Quality and quantity of training equipment - When you come to the studio, look around and count the number of focus targets, kicking shields etc. The quantity of equipment guarantees that you will get plenty of opportunity to practice your techniques without having to stand around waiting for your turn. The many different types of equipment insure that you will have plenty of variety in your training sessions to keep you excited about classes. Also, unlike most studios, we maintain fully padded floors for your safety. Compare all this with most studios which offer far less.

How many classes per week should I attend?
For consistent progress, we suggest that you attend two classes per week, and review what you have learned at home.
