Once our students learn the foundation for their future training, they continue to develop the confidence and leadership skills which will help them achieve their goal of earning their Black Belts. Black Belt Training Levels 1 focuses on intermediate level training. Students will continue learning new Universal Forms, Self-Defense, more advanced kicking and striking, while also beginning a new phase of training which incorporates safe, traditional, weapons (Bo Staff, Nunchakus and Kamas). The black stripe running through the center of the student’s belts symbolizes their approach to black belt and the inner leader shining through in each of them.
