What does a Black Belt represent?
Your ultimate martial goal is to attain the rank of black belt. A black belt is a symbol of excellence in martial arts and is an important tool for developing desire and tenacity. Passing the first level of black belt (or Shodan) examination is a distinguished achievement that reflects years of dedication and hard training. When you earn your first-degree black belt in RSKA, you enter a second stage of training in developing technical expertise.
