**ALL SALES ARE FINAL - NO REFUNDS**

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  1. How long do orders take to arrive?
    Orders are fulfilled in the order they are received. Fulfillment time-frames can vary depending on where the product is shipping from and it's immediate availability. Items are often shipped separately from separate locations and can take 6 to 8 weeks to fulfill completely.

    If an item is on backorder, please allow additional time for your order to be fulfilled. You will be emailed with fulfillment details, as they become available for your product.

    Once fulfilled, shipments take 3-5 business days on average to arrive at your door. You will receive an email notification containing the shipment details that can be used to track your package. If express shipping options are available, please note; the express shipping option DOES NOT expedite the fulfillment process! Express shipping will only affect the shipping time-frame.

    If your shipment is taking longer than the average to arrive, please contact the courier directly with your tracking details. Sometimes they are able to locate and hold your shipments for pickup.

About our Karate Program

Champions in Motion has developed one of the most comprehensive youth karate programs in the U.S. Starting with highly trained instructors, our programs are designed to keep kids safe with a system purposefully created for children and teens. We incorporate leading self-defense techniques together with lessons in safety awareness, abduction prevention and anti-bullying. Our instructors are highly trained in these and other areas so that your star is learning ways to stay safe throughout their life.

Rank Philosophy

Champions in Motion philosophy for teaching belt ranks is divided into three phases (Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced). Beginner ranks include white thru green w/blue stripe belts; Intermediate ranks include blue thru purple w/ orange stripe belts; High or Advanced ranks includes orange belts & above. 

 The primary objective for beginner rank students is to teach safety awareness and basic self-defense techniques. The secondary objective for beginner students is to teach the formal aspects of martial arts such as basic techniques (strikes, kicks, blocks, stances). Perfection of techniques is not required for promotional testing of beginner ranks. Teaching children how to stay safe in today’s world is the objective. 

 At intermediate ranks, the primary objective becomes improving basic techniques such as kicks, blocks, strikes, and defense against grabs and other attacks. Basic kata knowledge, beginning one step skills, improved concentration, and a greater demonstration of martial arts discipline are expected at this level also. The primary objective for advanced rank students is to enforce the formal aspect of the martial art; blocks, kicks, strikes, stances, kata, self-defense techniques, one-steps, sparring, martial art etiquette, and discipline. The secondary objective for high ranking students is reviewing safety awareness topics. Promotional testing for high ranking students is based upon effectively demonstrating proper technique and form of the primary objectives.
