Journey to Black Belt

The journey to Black Belt is a path of self-improvement involving the development of mind, body, and spirit, emphasizing wellness and good mental, physical, and attitudinal health.

As our students get closer to their Black Belt Test, they will have a consultation meeting with Sensei Bud. Three questions will be addressed at this meeting:

1. What does Sensei want you to improve to prepare you for Black Belt?
2. What does the student need to know to qualify for Black Belt?
3. What does the student want to achieve/learn as they reach Black Belt?

And a fourth question will be directed to the parents of our youth students:
4. What does the parent want their child to know/understand/develop as they reach Black Belt?

Students and parents, please start thinking about these questions, regardless of your current rank. The better we are able to answer these questions, the more efficient our students' training will be.

We are always happy to help you if you have any questions. Our students' success is our goal.


Thank you!
Bud Uzoras
