What belt system is used?
We have a very simple belt system. Like most systems, new students start as a white belt and progress through the many levels of black belt. Many commercial schools utilize two to three belt groups depending on the age of the students. Our system is as follows:
- White
- Yellow
- Orange
- Blue
- Green
- Brown
- Black

How long does it take to earn a black belt?
It depends on the student. Based on skills alone it will take three to four years of consistent training to become a black belt. However, being a black belt is more than just throwing kicks, punches, and blocks. Black belt rank requires a great deal of responsibility and therefore anyone promoted to black belt also must possess the maturity to handle it as well as accept that their own training does not end at that point.
