What is a Black Belt?

Are you a black belt? Will you be?

What is a black belt? The simple answer is someone who’s earned their black belt, but at United Studios of Self Defense, it means so much more. Of course, you can go to amazon and buy a black belt for $10. Does that make you a black belt? At USSD, it most certainly does not.

At USSD, a black belt has not only put in years and countless hours of training to perfect their martial art, but they show that same dedication in all aspects of their life. They show the USSD five principles of effort, etiquette, sincerity, self-control, and character, in the dojo, at work, at school, at home, and in every aspect of their life.

Living one’s life as a black belt is why a black belt does not cease to be a black belt when they take their belt off. Being a black belt is a way of life, part of the core of who you are. The years of training is simply a prerequisite…

Are you a black belt?  Will you be?  We certainly hope so!
