Demo & Sparring Team
Welcome to the Shinkyu Kenpo Demo/Sparring Team Information page. Our demo teams are dedicated to showcasing the benefits, discipline, and hard work associated with the martial arts. Demo Team training is above and beyond the standard class curriculum. These students love the Martial Arts and they enjoy sharing their talent with others throughout the community. We have special training practices and perform at schools, public events, parades and more. Our "CAN DO" attitude serves as a symbol of our hard work and dedication.

Our demo teams are made up of awesome individuals who dedicate their time and energy to put together the best shows they can. They demonstrate the best in Shinkyu Kenpo, not only in talent but in personal commitment.
Being on a demo team is very, very hard work and not for everyone. All our members must prove themselves every year to be on a team.
Interested in becoming a team member?
- Must be at least purple belt level.
- Minimum age 10 years old
- Becoming a demo team member is by try out only, every 6 months at special demo team tryout sessions.
- All team members must try out every year to be on and stay on a team.
- Students must be able to demonstrate their material proficiently, be able and willing to attend the mandatory demo team practices, and show school/system spirit and enthusiasm!
- Team members who miss too many team practices will be replaced by alternate members.
- Alternates must also attend team practices.
- Students that are not invited onto a team following tryouts will be notified on areas that need improvement and they may tryout again at the next demo team tryout.
Please note that our Demo Teams perform material that does NOT accurately represent the core curriculum we teach in Shinkyu Kenpo, however it does make for more exciting performances and demonstrates the hard work and flexibility in our martial art training.
