Black Belt Club (Invitation Only)
Your membership in the Warriors of Grace Karate Black Belt Club opens up a whole new world for your growth as a martial artist. By fully utilizing your privileges of membership, you will accelerate your learning, strengthen the personal development attributes inherent in training at this level, and most of all, move you into the inner circle of your school. Martial arts are an exciting activity that has a powerful impact on the lives of its practitioners. However, that impact is in direct proportions to the level of personal commitment the student makes to earning a black belt.
Selection Process
Your instructors are experts in determining which students have the necessary attributes for “going all the way.” The first attribute is the black belt attitude. The black belt attitude is an attitude of positive self expectancy. It’s the never-quit attitude of a winner. Students with black belt attitude maintain high levels of personal standards in and out of the martial arts school.
The second attribute is attendance. Good attendance shows discipline. The discipline necessary to follow through and stick with your goals. This is critical as the road to black belt is marked with small, incremental improvements that, when achieved consistently, gain enormous momentum leading to fantastic mental and physical breakthroughs. We realize that we cannot change any one technique or improve any one area of our lives 100% overnight. Instead, we seek to improve 100 areas –1% per week. This law of incremental learning is accomplished only with consistent class attendance.
The final, and in many ways most important attribute, is a commitment to earning your black belt. As a Black Belt Club school, your instructors have two levels of students. The first is the novice who is in the midst of their introduction to the world of martial arts. This student is considered as a trial student and as such is only permitted to attend a limited number of classes per week and is not permitted to learn certain, more advanced techniques.
