Specialty Programs – Take Your Skills to the Next Level
At Next Level Karate, our specialty programs offer students the opportunity to refine their skills, showcase their talents, and train in advanced techniques. Whether you’re looking to perform in front of an audience or master the art of the sword, these programs provide elite-level instruction and challenge students to push their limits.
Demo Team – Lead, Perform, Inspire
Our Demo Team is made up of 15-20 top students of intermediate and higher rank, selected through annual tryouts. As the leaders of our studio, team members train in both open-hand and weapons skills, preparing to represent our school in quarterly demonstrations. These performances showcase precision, teamwork, and mastery of martial arts, inspiring the entire student body.
Sword Class – Master the Blade
Led by 5x World Champion Joseph Bruske, our Sword Class is the most elite weapons training offered at Next Level Karate. This fusion of traditional and sport karate sword techniques teaches students how to handle a sword with precision, control, and artistry.
- Requires a sword and hakama (traditional sword pants)
- Focuses on the most advanced weapon forms
- Lightweight aluminum swords are used—NOT sharp or bladed for safety
Whether you’re looking to lead as part of the Demo Team or master the sword with world-class instruction, our specialty programs provide the next level of training for dedicated martial artists!
