Balancing attendance and proficiency is key to student success in martial arts training. Require at least 75% attendance for rank advancement, ensuring students attend 6 out of 8 classes per module. Encourage make-up sessions through extra classes or private lessons. Every class builds toward the black belt test, making consistent attendance essential. The Empower Kickboxing approach incorporates a twist by considering each student’s training duration, tailoring expectations for first-semester students based on their starting point within Year 1 or Year 2.
