JUST WHAT IS THE BLACK BELT PROGRAM?

The Black Belt Program is a highly tuned Kickboxing program formulated over many years by Northern Virginia’s most successful Martial Arts company: Charlie Lee Karete. It has been designed so that you can successfully achieve your black belt. There is not an easy way to attain a black belt.


The Black Belt Program is not for everyone. You need to be pre-qualified.

A person cannot just walk in off the street and sign up to the BBP! If you are not a current member then to qualify you need to book an introductory private class with us or attend our group classes and then simply express your interest. We will then advise you honestly and openly as to whether we think it would be a suitable course for you or not. We are not in the business of advising everybody to join the Black Belt Program because as we offer such a strong money back guarantee, we would simply end up giving unsuitable candidates their money back and wasting everybody’s time.

The BBP consists of the following:

-         3 specialized Black Belt Program classes (main focus on accelerated grading) per week taught by several highly qualified Black Belt instructors.

-         Train at as many group classes as you wish

-         Train at the studio any time you wish

-         Grade handouts

-         Memorisation forms

-         Gradings as soon as you are ready

-         Framed certificates after every grade

-         Personal instruction from World Champion Danny Boccagno

-         Minimum Sparring requirements for each grade

-         Plus anything else needed to help you successfully achieve your black belt
