Uniform Costs
I suggests waiting until just before or right after your first test to invest in a uniform. It is not required that you have a uniform, neither is it required that you purchase the uniform from me. We do require the uniform to be black. It is recommended that students purchase at least a 10 oz. uniform due to stress from grabs.
Uniforms include white belt
12 oz uniform - $60
14 oz uniform - $90
Belts - $5
Orders must be placed with me or Allison in class, money up front. Prices change at my whim. I suggest ordering your first 3 belts with your uniform because belts are not always available without extra cost for shipping.

Instructor Gaylen Smith is a black belt in the martial art of Shaolin Kempo. He has studied for the past 5 years under Joel Merriam, head of the Bangor Shaolin Kempo Club.

Test Notes

Note: these are my personal notes from class I took as I was learning the techniques. I have tried to go back and revise mistakes. However, I am sure I have missed more than a couple. If these notes don't match up to what Joel, the other blackbelts or I have taught you, please bring it to my attention and I will fix it.
