Being a black belt in the Yellow Tigers Karate school is one of patience and honor. And this is something I hold dearly, and to the heart but now this has been undone by those who have come to our school in search of rank and rigorous training and oh yeah a belt black in color . But what's in a belt (cotton) that's it . Just good old cotton , our black belt means a lot more to so many it tells of a long journey you have traveled. Sometimes a bumpy road, but a road with many journeys for you, the student to go .
1 Stay straight in your journey of life. .
2. Upon reaching that fork in the road, knowing the right path to take.
3. Go beyond the teaching and creed of the school . (THE LAW)
4. Get your rank and pass on your training..
I have had several studens from other schools join the Yellow Tigers their rank is honored and when and if they're chosen to test under my system and receive a black belt they must complete one year of training after getting there rank and stay in good standing in the school. If the student is still in school (elementary, middle school, high school and college), training in the Dojo and Academics must be in good standing . If any of the above mentioned does not occur, the student's black belt is VOIDED and all who signed their certificate will be notified of same. The same goes for leaving our school under dishonesty which is not tolerated at the Yellow Tigers School.
