The Black Belt is a martial artists' biggest goal, leading to the common question of “How can I get my next belt?”

The requirement for leveling up is simple: Along with memorizing the curriculum, students must do their best in class, show respect to fellow students and instructors, and be consistent. The higher the belt rank, the harder the techniques become. Students will be challenged with board-breaking techniques, sparring matches, and fitness tests as well.

Despite the importance of the belt rank is the journey and process of becoming a black belt. As Gunnar Nelson said, “A black belt doesn't mean anything. The meaning is in the journey.”
