What is a Black Belt

I believe a Black Belt is an extraordinary person. A black belt should be a great teacher, motivator, super fit at any age, know how to defend himself or herself, successful in life and business, respectful, disciplined, an athlete, a role model and a high achiever to name a few principals. When I think of the ultimate image of a black belt I think of Bruce Lee. Lee was the creator of mixed martial arts, awesome body, super fit, a philosopher, an innovator that impacted the world. 

 

I once read 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 a black belt instructor is one in 10,000.

 

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 are no short cut to earn our 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. 

 

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.

The reward to any goal is truly measured by the road you travel to achieve it..the more difficult the road the greater sense of acccomplishment. Live FIT Live FEARLESS...."failure is not an option"....
