Programs at NGK
Our Programs
We offer programs and classes for families and individuals of all ages. Classes are divided into age divisions that allow every student an equal opportunity to succeed.
Introductory Lessons
An introductory lesson is the necessary first step in order to establish a communication rapport between the sensei and the student. The lesson is representative of an actual class and ensures the student will be able to engage fully in the class. You will leave the lesson with the spirit of NGK and cool swag - a Next Generation Karate T-shirt!
To schedule your introductory lesson, call us at (971) 281-4371 or email us at senseialex@nextgenerationkarate.com.
Private Lessons
We want our students to not only succeed, but also to excel. We offer programs that give students an individualized class, with private lesson packages in addition to their normal program.
Class Levels
Generation Y (ages 4-8)
Students in Generation Y receive colored belts with a black stripe.
As they progress through classes, students will...
- Develop and refine basic martial arts techniques and skills as they are introduced to more advanced martial arts concepts
- Master focus during sustained activities
- Learn discipline and comprehend and demonstrate respect for others
- Be involved in an environment that strongly promotes self-respect and confidence
Generation Z (ages 8 and up)
Students in Generation Z receive colored belts that progress from Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced levels until they achieve their black belt.
As they progress through classes, students will...
- Work towards a mastery of martial arts techniques and skills
- Learn, develop, and understand leadership skills and an acute self-defense reaction
- Establish the creation of a strong body to support a strong mind while building self-confidence and the ability to self-direct
Each student in the Generation Z program starts in our beginning class, designed for white, yellow, and orange belts.
Upon completion of the first level, students graduate into our intermediate class, designed for blue, purple, and green belts.
The third level is our advanced class, designed for our brown, red, and black belts.
As students advance through these levels, we highly recommend that they attend lower level classes as needed to retain the skills in these classes.
