Many students find out early on that Taekwondo is not only a sport but a lifestyle. Becoming a black belt is more than a test of physical knowledge but is also an exercise in the mental development. The path to black belt will have many challenges but there is nothing like setting a long-term goal and reaching it! Serious martial arts students not only dream of becoming a black belt but also set it as a definite goal. We train our students to work towards and to to achieve this goal.

The Black Belt Club program is a program developed for students of any rank. Black Belt Club members are those individuals who have set their goal at "Black Belt." Students must know exactly what their goal is if they are to move toward it with desire and conviction. A Black Belt Club patch is worn on the left sleeve of the uniform to remind the student of their goal every time they put their uniform on. However, the Black Belt Club is more than just a patch. All Black Belt Club members are welcome to participate in special Black Belt Club training classes held each weekend at our academy. These exciting workouts offer training in weapons and much more. These special classes will not only make you a better martial artist, but will also prepare you for the courses taught at the black belt level. Benefits include: training in the single ssahng joel bong (single nun chuk) and single bahng mahng ee (single short stick).
