Quick Answers for Mountain Families
Do we have to sign a long contract?
No. Most families start with the Young Leader Culture Core (12 Weeks) ($550 kids) / Executive Longevity Culture Core (12 Weeks) ($715 adults). After that, choose the Annual Black Belt Track.
Can my child start with a calm intro?
Yes. We start with the Core Culture (12 Weeks) lane so your child can meet the room, the coach, and the pace before you commit.
What if my child is shy or nervous?
Totally normal. We start slow, pair them with patient partners, and never force anyone to demonstrate in front of the group.
Can siblings train together?
Often, yes. Tell us the ages, and we will help you find the best class times and groups.
