In today's competitive, results oriented, demanding and often hectic world, the need cannot be overestimated for preparing

STRENGTII
I
Strength does not come easily, but it can be developed and improved if you concentrate on it. As students of the
martial alts, we should all concentrate on developing our physical and mental strengtil.
I'll YSIC \ I.: To increase physica l strength, yo u must exercise regularly and strive for slow and gradual ga ill. Ca listhenics
including those done in your classes, progressive resistance training and weight training are some ways to increase your
physica l strengt11.
.\ IF . T .\1 .: Menta lly, you must develop the power to resist stress and fear in order to be able to susta in or resist stress and fear
in order to be able to sustain or resist an attack. Moral comage, as well as your degree of concentration and intensity, are also
fOJ1l1s of mental strength.
Stamina refers to physica l and mental endmance. Well developed endmance gives you the power to withstand
hardship and stress. To endure is to persevere; to remain constant to a goal or purpose regardless of obstacles or problems that may
OCClli'.
PIIY S I( .\1 .: To improve yom physica l stamina or endurance you must perf0 1111 aerobic exercise regularl y and raise your
heart rate 75% of its max imum . Maintain this level for a minimum of 20 minutes, 3 to 4 tinles per week, and you wi ll make
progress toward improving your stamina and cardiovascular endurance. The following are some exa mples of excellent aerobic exercises: Martia l Arts including Kickboxing, Fast walking, RI.IIUling, Cycling, Swinun ing and Cross Connuy Skiing,
\ I J': . . L\ I.: In tile martial arts, mental stamina is a great advantage. It's tile sli ght edge tilat may aLlow you to out-last an
opponent or challenge. Well developed mental stamina will help you leam to look at obstacles and problems as challenges. It
will pennit you to overcome these challenges and accomplish your goals.
NUTRITION
Put good things into your body and you'll realize good results. Fill your body with
junk food and garbage, and it won't pelfonn with the proper intensity necessary to
reach Black Belt level skills and confidence.
Poor eating habits resu lt in lack of energy, depression and moodiness, as well as excess body fat. Proper eating habits provide you with more energy to perfonn better at
martial arts, work and other activities that you enjoy. Putting the right "fuel" into
your tank will help you maintain a positive and enthusiastic outlook on life.
Energy is prO\~ded in the form of ca lories and tilese come fi'om the foods you eat. Basically, foods are made up of three
groups: Carbohydrates, Proteins and Fats. High energy, "clean buming" calories come fi'om foods in the complex
carbohydrate and protein groups. Good canplex carbohydrates come fi'om fi'uits, vegetables, pasta, rice, and whole
grains. Good ro urces of protein are chicken, turkey, fish, beans and nuts. Try to limit your consumption of red meats
(such as beef) and other hi gh-fat foods. Limited fat intake is desired to achieve a quality fitness level. Also uy to avo id
foods high in sodium and sugar. Sweets such as candy bars, cakes, and soda tend to give you a short boost of energy
fo llowed by depression and/or fatigue.
It is also important to drulk plenty of water (8 to 10 glasses per day) to replenish your body with the fluids you burn
off (drink exu'a water after heavy workouts) . By regularly dru1king water you will avoid dehydration and should
fee l an ulcrease in your energy level.
Needless to say, smoking, consumption of alcohol , and the use of dmgs are tota lly discouraged . They inhibit your
progress.
TIlE BL
BELT SllCCESS SYSTE:\I

Om system is designed to see evelyone make gradual, steady progress toward optimwn
physical and mental development. Tlus progress is measured through a built-ill goal system and
ulcentive program with sU'uctured belt levels. The steps t6 Black Belt is refelTed to as THE
BLACK BELT SUCCESS SYSTEM
In the beginning phases, the belts represent short telm goals that are obtlined by learning
basic forms, techniques and katas, and following general guidelines. As you gain
knowledge you should also gain confidence in your aliJity to achieve your goals.
Gradually, you will learn to set more difficult, long tenn goals. As you climb the ladder
toward Black Belt, your knowledge and skill will illcrease as well as your capacity to
concentrate and leal11. These higher levels of development require pursuit of a stronger mind
and a more fit body, along with an ulcrease in regular practice and class attendance.

The pUl1Jose of Shipe and belt testing is to ma1ce sure each student is progressing on schedule.
Testing for belts and shipes are done dUling the third week of every month. DUling celtain times
of the year we must change testing week, so please watch almouncements.
DUling the second week of the month students will have a last review on Monday m1d Tuesday
then Wednesday or Thursday our students take a progress check dming their regular class time . .
For each progress check the student passes they will receive a color stripe on their belt. Kids,
adults and teens, in the begimllng stages of the program will eam their next color belts after
tlu'ee stripes.
The color stripes represent a quality of a champion-

J' ,
Our schoo l is a BLACK BELT SCHOOL, meanin g it' s our goa l to guide every
student to that level.
One of the most im porta nt ways we beg in this journey is thro ugh courtesy and res pect.
We practice thi s by:
I . When students enter the schoo l they should greet the person behind the coun ter with a
"Hell o Sir" or "Hello Ma'am"

2. We show respect to the schoo l and in structors by "Bow ing" when entering and leav ing
the workout area.
3. When you arri ve pl ease sit in the back of the r00111 as not to di sturb a class in sess ion.
4. If yo u arri ve late fo r class, please wai t at the edge of the mat unt il the instructor acknowledges yo u and ca ll yo u onto the \vorkout area.
5. If th e instructor is talkin g and wa nts you to have a seat he will announce the command
"Lock It Up". Students then sit legs crossed, hands on knees, back straight, chin up
and eyes on the instructor.
6. Yo u will notice that both students and instructors are referred to by their last names.
Thi s is just another way we practi ce courtesy and respect.
Premier l'vlarti al Arts Inc.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do

not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we
rather have those because we have acted rightly.
We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

and through correct and rigid trailling
to strive for improvement in the art of Kenpo
to hold in esteem human courtesy and honor
to associate 'with others with sincerity
and to forever pursue the cultivation of one's seU
TIlliS
One Will Be Able:

To Love their country and societT
. To Contribute to the development of culture
To Promote peace and prosperity among all peoples
The Kenpo Salute " Its Meaning .

As a new student, you will be shown the proper manner
in which to bow. The bow is an important part of the Martial Arts
heritage. It signifies patience, humility, and respect. These
are important elements in your study. Without them you
would quickly lose sight of your goals. J[ you develop these
virtues, you will progress at an even pace and eX']lerience a feeling
of seHdiscipline. This will carry over into other areas of your life
and you will reap rewards you never dreamed possible.
Our bow is a Chinese bow. It has been handed down
. to us from the Shaolin Temple. The right hand forms a fist
and the left hand is placed vertically (and open) against the right
fist.
The bow is a salute and also a sign of peace. In
the salute itseH, the right hand represents the lifeline:
ENERGY tPOWER. The left symbolizes the warmth and security of
peace. Combined they show respect lor the individuaL You are
telling your opponent that you come in peace, unarmed and
without hostilities. J[ forced to defend yourself however, yom hand
position demonstrates that you possess the secret knowledge of
Kenpo.
1 -
I -
The words "~ly secret is Kenpo, I bear no arms"

were spoken upon being threatened. At the start of each class,
these words were spoken to reinforce the purpose of training.
nlartial artist's respect is demonstrated through the bow.
When to Bow
When entering the school, each student must greet the instructor and
other black belts present with a bow.
When leaving the school, a proper farewell wilh abow 10 the

instruclor and other black bells present is also mandatory etiquel\e.
When entering or exiling tile Dojo, abow is made iIi the directionof
the Dojo. This shows the students contemplation of what they are
about to do and their reverence for their art.
At the start and end of each class, asalute or greeting is given to the
instructors and! or founder of theart as well as asalute to the flag of
tIlis country. Students of this school are e);pected to demonstrate
respect for ti\eir country and flag at all times.
Before a student puts onor removes their rank bells, they must be sure
to ask permission of the instructor and bow beforehand. This shows
respect for the knowledge the instructor has gil'en the student that is
equiYalent with that belt.
When meeting with the founder or an instructor of the Nick Ceria's

Kenpo System, a student should greet that person in a proper martial
arts fashion. In addition il a student meets with a master of another
style the proper etiquette is a respectful bow.
Abow is alsoused when lacing an opponent in ah'IJmite match or an

ima.,ainary opponent in a Kata
When a bow is given, remember that it shows respect lor one's

opponent, they will not underestimate them!
The five principles of conduct adhered to by the instructors and students of Nick Cerio's Kenpo are:
EFFORT
Errort means hard work. In the academy and outside, members must put their utmost into every endeavor.
IITlQUETIE
Members must show politeness and respect to all people. Good manners inside and outside the school are expected from all members 01 the Studio.
Members must treat one another (especially Senior students) with respect.
SINCERITY
Honesty and truthfulness are the chief characteristics of every karateka. They tell the truth even when it may not benefit them to do so, because they
know that the truth and honesty are more important than their own well-being.
CHARACTER
Personal strength is a prerequisite to Karate development. If it isn't present at the outset of training it will be with the continued efforts of training.
Martial artists do what they know is right no mailer who speaks out against them or no mailer what hardship they may sulfer.
SELF-CONTROL
The student 01 Karate controls their emotions and behavior. You must accepl your bad qualities and learn to subdue them. You must not use your
techniques to bully people or show oli. You may use the art 01 Kenpo only when your life is in danger but never in anger!
