Step 1: Level Assignment

Athletes are evaluated through an assessment run by veteran staff who’ve observed their performance. Based on this, each athlete receives a T&D Training Level weighed on a 1-10 scale.

Step 2: Targeted Training

Athletes attend classes that correspond to their level.

• Mastering Levels 1–5 are required for all athletes before advancing to Level 6 and beyond.

Classes are a mix of position-based and general skills, with a focus on fundamentals that serve as the foundation for higher-level performance.

Step 3: The Work

Athletes progress by:

• Showing up consistently & training with intention

• Asking questions & completing homework

• Tracking progress

• Applying technique both inside and outside the TK Facility

Important: Our training philosophy is detail-driven. Athletes who seek supplemental training from coaches outside TK may regress if those coaches use conflicting methods or lack technical precision. Save your money and trust the system.

Step 4: Level Testing

Athletes may test to advance:

• Testing is standardized, objective, and conducted in a structured environment.

• Athletes may focus on mastering sub-level skills rather than rushing to the next level—especially important from Level 6 and up.
