Black Belt Success

Our system is designed to see everyone make steady progress toward optimum physical and mental development. This progress is measured through a built-in goal system and incentive program with structured belt levels. The steps to Black Belt are referred to as The Black Belt Success System.

In the beginning phases, the belts represent short- term goals that are obtained by learning basic techniques and Hyungs “forms”, and follows general guidelines. The individual gains knowledge as they gain confidence in the ability to achieve goals and gradually learn to set more difficult, long term goals. As they climb the ladder toward Black Belt, knowledge and skill will increase as well as the capacity to concentrate and learn.
These higher levels of development require a pursuit of a stronger mind and a more physically fit body, as well as an increase in regular practice and class attendance.
