FAQs

Need to know something about The Warrior Academy? We’ve listed our most commonly asked questions. If you don’t see what you need, please feel free to give us a call and we’ll be happy to help.

Are Your Belts Nationally And Internationally Recognised?

Yes, we have a unique syllabus based around the ITF (International Tae Kwon Do Federation) belt system and regularly transition students from other styles to our belts and our students who move onto other styles transition quickly. We are regulated by the WKF (World Karate Federation) and the UAE Karate Federation. Students naturally come and go; however, in every case, after a quick skill assessment, we find their belt is transferable to another equivalent style (bear in mind that some clubs may insist on starting on a different belt). This depends on the club. We have a list of suitable clubs locally that we have vetted, who have the same integrity in their belt system as us.

What Is My Child Leaves To Join Another Club?

In our classes your child is learning all of the important techniques to help them transition from our syllabus to ITF or WTF taekwondo, Muay Thai or even Karate. We have never had a student be turned away because of their belt, quite the opposite our students are praised for how versatile they are and how quickly they pick techniques up are compared to other styles.

Why Are You Not Part Of The ITF or WTF TaeKwonDo Federation?

When the Warrior Academy started we were part of the ITF organisation. The challenge we found is the strict rules and politics of the organisation restricted our ability to really maximise the character development aspect of our programme. Martial arts is great but developing your child’s character is what sets them up for a happy and successful life as an adult – since we made this bold change we have won countless awards for our programme and our transformations.

How Long Does It Take To Get A Black Belt?

In WTF or ITF organisation’s it takes around 3-4 years on average to earn a black belt. In our programme our students take on average 6-8 years. We are so confident on the quality of our black belts that we guarantee everyone who gets a black belt a job in our Academy.
