After-School Care Info

📢 Welcome to After School Martial Arts!

We are excited to return this year to Clemson Elementary, Six Mile Elementary, and Central Clemson Rec Center for our afterschool martial arts programs!

The Basics

Uniform Required

All students are expected to attend in full uniform, including their belt each day. This helps us build pride, focus, and discipline from the moment they step onto the mat.

What We’re Learning

We use a rotating curriculum that includes:

  • Falling Safety
  • Kicking
  • Hand Strikes
  • Weapons
  • Stances & Leg Strength
  • Self-Defense
  • Sparring Skills

Each class, students will have a chance to earn a belt stripe for effort, skill, and attitude.

How Promotions Work

To earn their next belt, students must:

  • Collect 6–8 stripes by demonstrating the required skills
  • Show proper etiquette, a positive attitude, and consistent effort

This means showing respect to instructors, trying their best, and improving week to week!

The Basics

Testing Sign-up

IN-Class Testing

At After-School Care, the easiest way to promote is IN-CLASS testing. We’ll promote during class (please make sure they have a full uniform) and we’ll try to send you a photo or post video on Facebook.

In-Class testing at the dojahng – schedule with an instructor (864.653.0570 or text email office) and we’ll find an evening class you can bring your child to and watch them

Saturday/Friday Night Testing – special group testing. This is a special class/test just for those testing – check during sign-up or on the calendar to see when it it.
