What is a Black Belt?

“A student and black belt are specially trained in the art of kobudo, They are instilled with virtues of effort, respect, discipline, loyality and character. The only person a black belt has to be better than today is the person he or she was yesterday. For those who have lost their way, will be sadly missed and sadly dismissed.”
