Frequently Asked Questions

We’re excited to have you join us! For your first class, please wear a comfortable t-shirt and black athletic pants. If you commit to train, you’ll have the opportunity to purchase our official school uniform, available directly through us.

If it’s your first class, please plan to arrive about 15 minutes early so we can help you get settled and answer any questions. For future classes, arriving 5–10 minutes early is perfect to prepare and warm up before we begin.

No, you do not. C3 is a martial arts program with core principles that are biblically based. While some programs may highlight religious aspects, C3 is not a “Christian alternative” to martial arts — it is a complete martial arts curriculum. Like all martial arts schools, students are expected to learn and memorize the core tenets of our program as part of their training.

At C3 Martial Arts, each belt level has specific requirements that must be completed to advance:

• Black Stripe: Required skills must be demonstrated to an instructor during the qualifying period.
• Blue Stripe: Students must recite a Fruit of the Spirit and a memory verse prior to testing.
• Red Stripe: A minimum number of classes must be completed before testing.

In addition to these requirements, the official uniform, patches, and current belt must be worn during testing.
