Black Belt Leadership Academy -- Apr/29th, 2006
An important aspect of being a black belt is having leadership qualities. Some students have
natural leadership qualities or they have learned leadership skills in other forums. However, many
students need help in developing leadership qualities. The Black Belt Leadership Academy is
training and mentoring in leadership skills by other black belt students. Black belt leadership
academy is to be an annual training seminar in martial arts leadership. Students need
to be at least of the rank of 1st Keup (high brown belt) to be part of Leadership Academy. Another
aspect of Black Belt leadership academy is providing leadership and direction to the classes that
the student participates in. Planning and organizing meetings are held for Black Belt Leadership
Academy to decide on the curriculum for future classes.
