Syllabus
Our unique syllabus concept is the core of FSKB. For years martial arts students have been tormented having to learn skills and techniques they don't want or will simply never use to achieve their next grade. FSKB is different. Our unique certificate system allows you to shape your own martial art style. If you don't want to learn kata's then you can skip that certificate, if you don't want to do conditioning you don't have to do that one. Each certificate is worth a number of points depending on the level and content of the certificate (most basic level certificates are worth one point). The table below lists the current basic level certificates. New certificates are added as our instructors knowledge and skills increase.
