What if I have had some martial arts experience?

People who have had previous martial arts experience are at first given some time to get used to the new class. During this short settling-in period the new student either trains wearing a white belt or with no belt until a preliminary grade has been given. When the new student attends their first USDA grading they will have the opportunity to be promoted according to their ability. Any previous martial arts experience usually helps students to improve and go up the grades much quicker than the average student.
