The Black Belt Club
In addition to earning your belts, one very important goal is to qualify for membership into the Black Belt Club. The BBC is the core of our school.
What is the Black Belt Club?
The Black Belt Club is comprised of students committed to the goal of black belt. By the rank of Orange belt a student should make the commitment to black belt and join the Black Belt Club. Over 80% of our students are BBC members or BBC Graduates.
The Black Belt Club is the inner-core of the school and best represents what LIFE 180° Martial Arts stands for.
