Anta's Black Belt Promotion 2011

What Makes a Black Belt

 First,  I would like to congratulate our new Black Belts and Jr Black Belts for their achievements. Being promoted to full Black Belt was my 16 year old son and assistant instructor Jon-Paul Anta. Jon-Paul has crossed trained in Muay Thai, wrestling, Jiu Jitsu and Israeli Martial arts. Also promoted to Black Belt was my Assistant Instructor Hector Arcia.  Arcia olds the rank of Black Belt in our old kung fu curriculum and he is a 2nd degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. He has won multiple Tae Kwon Do state championships in forms and sparring. Now he has earned the rank of Black Belt in our new expanded multiple style martial arts system. 3 students under the age of 16 were promoted to the rank of Jr Black, Santiago Calderon, Alejandro Montes, and Brandon Hart.

 

It is said that for every10,000 students that joins a martial arts class, half will drop out during the first month. Of the 5,000 half will persist through the second month. Of those remaining students 1,000 will complete the 6 months of training and then quit. 500 will study for a year, but only 100 students will celebrate their second anniversary of studying martial arts. Only three will every receive their First Degree Black Belt, yet only one will go on to teach what he has learned: martial arts will now be a part of his life that he/she will share with others. This man will help change lives. Think about it he is one in 10,000.

 

Those odds are extremely high and they are even higher in our martial arts system, to reach the rank of Black Belt which consists of Kung Fu, Contemporary Jeet Kune Do (Bruce Lee’s system with 27 different martial arts) grappling, Israeli Martial Arts and Muay Thai Kickboxing. 

 

We are extremely proud of our Black Belt Class of 2011. On Saturday, November 5, 2011 we promoted 5 highly trained and fit individuals to the covet rank of Black Belt. 2 were promoted to full Black Belts and 3 were promoted to Jr Black Belt. At Anta’s we do not give full Black Belts to kids. We promote children to Jr. Black Belts at 16 years old they can test for a full Black Belt. A full Black Belt has to be a great instructor and in great physical condition. He is tested on Kung fu and weapon forms, Jeet kune Do, sparring, Kali (stick fighting), knife fighting, self defense, Israeli gun and knife defense, joint locks, grappling, and Muay Thai Kickboxing.

 We are a Black Belt School. Our goal and dream is to make every student that walks into our school a Black Belt without selling out or giving it away.  It might be an impossible dream since in America we are used to getting every thing fast. We have gotten use to fast foods, microwaves and drive through windows. Yet, there is no quick ways around our Martial Arts Black Belt. We at Anta’s Fitness and Self Defense will try to help our students defy the odds. We believe that a Black Belt is a White Belt that never gave up. We believe in positive reinforcement. The only way that you can fail is by giving up and quitting. By statistics the above average Black Belt wanted to quit at least three times before he became a Black Belt. The truth is that the family is what makes a Black Belt, whether you are a kid or an adult it is a family project and you will need their support. 

 We have developed a rank system that will help you work on your short term goals (next color belt) and long term goals (the coveted Black Sash). We have divided this into phases, Basic Kung Fu, Black Belt Club, and MASTERS Club to help you have a smoother  journey to Black Belt. Our goal is to make you a Black Belt!

 All of our students that make it to Black Belt or Jr. Black Belt excel in school and sports. They have excel in school by being on the principle’s honor role. We even had a once shy girl become the public speaker student of an elementary school. In athletics our Jr Black Belts have excel in all sports. They have won Middle School Athlete of the Year, Most Valuable  Player in Basketball in Middle School, Most Improved Wrestler in Middle School. We have also developed star high school athletes in Wrestling, Football, Soccer and Tennis. We take pride in changing our students lives by helping them developing self confident, self-esteem, and guiding them to to become successful and productive individuals. We make Black Belts for life. 

 Julio Anta is the head instructor of  Anta’s Fitness and Self Defense  changing lives in Doral since 1998. You can reach him at 305 59-3649 or via the internet at DoralKungFu.com.
