Zen Ha Kenpo Syllabus

What will I learn?

What you will learn will depend on your age; there are 3 classes that teach different aspects of jujitsu depending on the body's mental or physical development. The little Warriors' syllabus focuses a lot more on mental development (teaching social ethics, awareness, etiquette, discipline & learning strategy), compared to the adult syllabus which contains a lot more focus on human anatomy, physical techniques & martial art sciences (including Shiatsu, Acupuncture & Ki energy cultivation). All syllabuses are recognised by the National Governing Body in Jujitsu (the BJJA (GB)). To see more detail on what will be taught, close this window and click on the age group appropriate:

  • Little Warriors (Ages 4 - 8)
  • Kid's Program (Ages 9 - 14)
  • Adult Program (Ages 15+)

Journey to Blackbelt

To progress in the Solent Martial Arts Academies, you will follow a training program governed by a syllabus (downloadable from the news site: Syllabus). The syllabi contain all the techniques and knowledge that you should posses to progress to your next grade. A master-class is held every 3 months where you will have the chance to prove that you have fulfilled the grade requirements for a graduation. Your first adult Zen Ha Kenpo syllabus is the "White to Black Belt" syllabus where a coloured belt is obtained upon completion of a grade. The grading system for the first syllabus is as follows:

  • White Belt (Beginning Grade)
  • Red Belt
  • Yellow Belt
  • Orange Belt
  • Green Belt
  • Blue Belt
  • Purple Belt
  • Purple with White Stripe Belt
  • Brown Belt
  • Brown with White Stripe Belt
  • Brown with Red Stripe Belt (Shodan Ho)
  • Black Belt (Shodan - your first 'dan' grade)

All Shihan Martin Rogers' courses are taught in a friendly social manner with professional teaching practices. All coaches are C.R.B. checked and contain a coaching qualification recognised by the National Governing Body in Jujitsu.
