The Black Belt Club

What is the Black Belt Club?

The Black Belt Club is a programme designed to help those students who have made it their goal to obtain Black Belt excellence.

By the student making that commitment Master St’James Black Belt Academy gives the student extra motivation to reach Black Belt level. We believe that a Black Belt is more than a physical ideal, it should also be a person who has a strong core value system.

Once you are enrolled in our martial arts school it is usually six months before you have shown the necessary dedication and have had the time to decide if you are serious enough about your training to take this step of personal commitment.

Remember, joining the Black Belt Club is your promise that you will continue studying until you achieve your Black Belt and beyond.

Who can join the Black Belt Club?

To become eligible to join the Black Belt Club you must be a Green Belt or higher, and have shown commitment to earning the rank of Black Belt.

Membership is by invitation only. Black Belt Club members can take exciting extra classes and more regular classes during the week. Members are also invited to special Black Belt Club seminars, master classes and social events.
