Introduction
White belt is all about basics. Here you will learn your first stances, strikes and evasion techniques that will prepare you for lessons in future belts. You must master these techniques before moving on to the next belt. Also, we strongly recommend writing these techniques down in a notebook as you learn them and remember to bring your notebook to class.
