CFI Black Belts

What is it to be a Black Belt at our dojo?
It takes an average student about 3 and a half years to get black belt in our dojo. Its not easy, and all students promoted here can attest to that. It requires dedication and at times, sacrifice, but I think we would all agree that the person you become is well worth the effort. When the obi is tied on, you become a part of our family. It really creates a bond hard to describe to someone who has never taken karate. But for all of this, getting your black belt is only your license to really start learning karate. It’s a the end of one journey and the beginning of an even better one.
