Students

VIP Buddy
At the end of each month, the first class after stripe testing, all schools host VIP Buddy Days. Any student may bring a friend to class that day for free. Students are required to have their buddy's parent fill out a VIP card and sign the participation waiver at the bottom. All buddies that attend may receive two free classes to attend in the beginners program at any time.

Fun Nights (Parents Night Out)
Every other month we have karate fun nights. This is a great way to meet new people, eat pizza, play lots of games and watch karate demonstrations performed by the SMA Demonstration Team. (And in the summer we have water gun wars!!)

Tournaments
Spartanburg Martial Arts hosts 3-4 Inner School tournaments each year for all of our students. Students learn to develop a healthy competitive spirit as well as the confidence to express themselves outside of the dojo.

Demonstration Team
This is SMA's most prestigious team. The Demo team performs exciting shows at many of Spartanburg's most important events (Spring Fling, International Festival, Spartanburg County Fair).

They also perform for local school festivals and church outings. The SMA demonstration team is made up of the most dedicated an enthusiastic martial arts students. You must be a Black Belt Club Member, have a Black Belt Attitude, and be willing to attend extra practice sessions in order to be part of this squad. (See Black Belt Club »)

SWAT Team
(Super Winning Attitude Team) The Leaders of Tomorrow These students go beyond what is expected of them in karate class, at home, and at school. They are students who have the desire to help others develop the same positive attitude and karate skills that they have. SWAT Team members are considered to be "instructors assistants" and are a very important part of the school. SWAT Team members must be at least 10 years of age and preferably brown belt or higher.
