Black Belt

Black Belt Pledge.

I hold that my time and my skill are the assets of my profession, assets which grow in value as I progress in the Art until, as a Third Degree Black Belt, I stand as a fully qualified instructor.  It shall also be my responsibility to protect any student from ravenous individuals who would try to take advantage of personal weaknesses to divest the gullible into unprofitable paths, to preserve the sacred things, God, family, country, and Association, I pledge my all.

Black Belts.

The Black Belt is not awarded lightly and the martial artist must have progressed through all the other colour belts before he is allowed to try for his Black Belt.

There are 10 levels of hierarchy called Degrees, the first Degree grades are gained by extending techniques and learning new forms and sets.  The Black Belt is also expected to teach others and help them gain experience and understanding in the Art.

Higher Degree grades are awarded for service to the Association and its’ pupils.
