BLACK BELT CLUB

When a student enrolls at American Karate Studios, s/he participates in classes that are part of a system that produces excellent Black Belts.  Becoming a Black Belt requires much effort, perseverance, dedication and desire.  The members of the BBC have firmly committed themselves to attaining Black Belt excellence.

To qualify, a student must have a history of regularly attending at least 2 classes per week; if in school, they must maintain a "B" average or better; they must demonstrate a caring and sharing attitude in and out of class; they must firmly set Black Belt as a goal, with intention of overcoming any obstacles that may get in the way; and, finally they must write a letter explaining "Why I want to become a Black Belt." 

The main benefit is knowing the a Black Belt is the outcome of this commitment.  This is much more motivating and inspiring than thinking you might become a Black Belt!

Each member receives a special Black Belt Club uniform; receives the opportunity to participate in special BBC classes and events; has the opportunity to become a member of the All-STAR Team or the Adult Assistant program; and, a 10% discount off all merchandise and private lessons.

Being a member of the Black Belt Club assists our students in developing themselves in a positive manner, developing their self discipline, and brings out the best in themselves and others.  That's one of the many reasons why AKS is considered a Black Belt School!
