RANK ADVANCEMENT.
​
• We believe in the “merit based promotion principle” when it comes to earning rank and being advanced. If you are a serious martial artist, train hard, and believe that perseverance is the key to achieving excellence we can help you achieve your martial arts goals.
• Mixed martial artists, military, law enforcement, and traditional martial arts practitioners from many different styles seldom receive the credit they truly deserve for the cross training they do. Part of our mission is to correct this injustice.
• All martial artists should not be held back and receive the recognition they deserve and be advanced accordingly based upon universally accepted standards within the industry NOT POLITICS.
