Black Belts
The term black belt has become widely known as a way to describe an expert in martial arts where a practitioner's level is often marked by the color of the belt. The black belt is commonly the highest belt color used and denotes a high degree of competence, and often associated with a teaching grade though frequently not the highest grade or the "expert" of public perception. Our Black Belts are held to the highest standards in the industry and are required to meet the qualifications set by experts in several different fields of martial studies. These individuals have earned the privaledge to wear a special mark of distinction as individuals who are not only skilled fighters, but also great leaders exemplified by their discipline, courtesy, respect, honesty and integrity. The following leaders are listed as having all of the responsibilities and privaledges of being servant based leaders within our humble dojo:
