Junior Master Joe Bump
A typical Sikaran class
Class begins with personal stretching with a partner.  Class falls in and pays respect to their school, grandmaster, master and their instructors.  Exercise is fast and vigoruos.  Let the sweat begin.  Following the exercises, there is more stretching and preparing the mind and body for the class ahead.  Then comes kicks, drills and forms.  Sometimes there is fighting or self-defense techniques.  Class ends as it began, paying respect to each other and to those who have come before them.  Most importantly, every class is hard, but fun.  We come to class as brothers and sisters and we leave the same way.  We learn discipline and respect for each other and those who share our environment.
