Curriculum
The work listed for each rank is designed as a guide for that rank, and as such, is the minimum requirement. It is expected that each student go beyond these minimum requirements and strive within himself or herself for the maximum knowledge and skill that may be obtained from each rank. Students will have to work hard and study much to obtain the true skill behind each rank, as the belt itself will not, and cannot, secure you from harm.
- A supreme martial arts philosophy.
This will be the essence of these teachings.
