The road to being a Black Belt requires a lot of dedication, perseverance and endurance. One’s character is challenged by the discipline required to attain to this level not to mention the rigorous training involved.

Last May 26, 2018, 6 very deserving candidates had to prove to our judges that they are worthy to earn that belt, and 2 current 1st Dan Black Belts had to prove doubly hard that they have what it takes to earn that second stripe.
