The Black Belt Club is comprised of students committed to achieving the rank of black belt. By the rank of Orange belt a student should make the commitment to earn their black belt and join the Black Belt Club. We would like to see 80% of our students as BBC members.  

What is the Black Belt Club?

The Black Belt Club is our Basic Weapons Training Program. Members learn how to use a series of weapons in a safe, supervised and controlled environment.  What separates our weapons program from others is the innovation or foam weaponry.  Student are required to start their training with foam weapons.  This allows the student to learn the different techniques and drills without any danger of harming themselves.  Some of the weapons students will learn to use include the Nunchaku, Escrima Sticks, Bo staff and Kamas.
