Black Belt Club

Our Black Belt Club is a special program for students who have made it their goal to achieve the rank of Black Belt. Students can join Black Belt Club at any age or rank, as long as they are committed to training until they reach their goal. Students must join Black Belt Club in order to progress beyond the level of purple belt.

Black Belt Club classes cover all of the material included in the Basic Program, plus additional advanced training. This training includes sparring, weapons such as the bahng mahng ee (escrima stick) and ssahng jeol bong (nunchaku), and practical self-defense skills like pressure points and groundfighting.

Students learn to use control, focus and distancing while engaging in no-contact sparring in a fun, safe and positive environment. Sparring teaches application of defensive and offensive techniques while increasing reaction time and encouraging good sportsmanship. Students wear safety gear while sparring.

The weapons training teaches Black Belt Club members to handle weapons safely through basic strikes, disarms and partner drills. This training prepares students for the more advanced weapons requirements that will greet them once they continue their training beyond the First Degree Black Belt rank.
