- Old arabic proverb

Black Belt: Requires completing the minimum requirements to achieve the Black

Belt in the quickest and easiest way possible without necessarily expanding your

potential. Requires the minimum required attention and energy level.

Result: A beautiful Black Belt to wear around your waist.

Black Belt Excellence: Requires completing the requirements to your highest level

possible and taking every moment, as if it is the last moment, you have to train. It

means committing yourself to create an unprecedented future and limitless

possibilities as a Black Belt -- not only in Martial Arts, but in life.

Result: A beautiful experience that will allow you to live a life worth living.

The choice is yours ...........................



If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter;

for always there will be greater and lesser than yourself.
