Valor Combat Systems is also proud to hold the Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts. Funded by the National Lottery, this scheme was launched by the Sports Minister in early 2018 and is delivered through a group of partners and experts in safeguarding such as the Child Protection in Sport Unit (NSPCC) and Sport England. As such, any Martial Arts Club/Organisation or individual in England who has achieved the Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts, has successfully demonstrated to us that they have a good working knowledge of quality safeguarding practices.
Once you have booked your child into their first class, a confirmation email will be sent to you and details will be forwarded onto the relevant Sensei (Club Coach) for your chosen class.

VALOR COMBAT SYSTEMS STRUCTURE
There are various Syllabuses within the Valor Combat Systems, which aid to develop Martial Arts skills for all ages: -
-
Mini Samurai (Valor Ju Jitsu)/Mini Raion (Valor Precision Combat) designed for ages 4 years-6 years.
-
Junior Samurai (Valor Ju Jitsu)/Junior Raion (Valor Precision Combat) designed for ages 7 years-15 years.
-
Adult designed for ages 16 years+.
The Mini Samurai/Mini Raion Syllabus and Junior Samurai/Junior Raion Syllabus may overlap, depending on the individual’s understanding and ability. Certain techniques may be more challenging for some students, dependent on size. The Sensei (Club Coach) will assess each student on their merits before deciding whether commencement of the Junior Samurai/Junior Raion Syllabus (from 7 years), is appropriate.
All beginner students wear a White belt and thereafter grade in the coloured belts as per the Belt Table.
The Mini Samurai/Mini Raion Belt System varies slightly, as their belts are all White with a coloured stripe.
Grading exams are held every 4 months. However, not every student will attend, depending on the time they have trained and the progress of the individual.
GRADING BELT TABLE
Our students focus on individual growth, working towards specific goals at their own pace. These goals are awarded with a different coloured belt each time they reach a new skill level. They are taught that each belt is earned through hard work and dedication, not just ‘given’ to them - a principle to encourage self-esteem and maintain motivation.
Techniques are broken down into small stages to help the student learn gradually. Repetition of movements aid fluidity, understanding, spatial awareness and co-ordination. Emphasis on self-control and concentration is taught to help the students maintain focus with their partner (uke) – resulting in improved teamwork and socialisation skills.
Competitive activities within our classes, teach our students to allow others to take their turn, see things from other points of view and accept sometimes that failure is unavoidable – a format to build a stronger character.
