If you’ve been around Revolution Modern Martial Arts in Clayton or Garner, you’ve probably heard about the Black Belt Club—and for good reason! This exclusive, invitation-only program is designed for students who want to take their martial arts journey to the next level.
So what is it, and why do so many students and parents love it? Let’s break it down.
What Makes the Black Belt Club Special?
Students in the Core Program or Adult Program at our Garner or Clayton locations who show commitment and leadership may be invited to join Black Belt Club. It’s where dedicated students get to experience so much more than standard classes:
- Black Uniforms: A symbol of excellence and commitment.
- Weapons Training: Learn traditional martial arts weapons like kamas and bo staff.
- Advanced Sparring: Upgrade your skills for real progress.
- Additional Arts: Go beyond karate with Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Arnis Stick Fighting and more.
For students, this program is exciting, challenging, and packed with new opportunities.
Why Parents Love the Black Belt Club
Black Belt Club isn’t just about advanced martial arts training—it’s about leadership and personal growth. In this program, we introduce Level 2 Leadership, which focuses on public speaking skills.
When you come to class in Clayton or Garner and see kids as young as 7 years old confidently leading, asking parents to stand, bowing in the class, and reciting the Student Creed—you’re witnessing the results of Black Belt Club training.
This program helps children develop confidence, communication, and the ability to lead others—skills that last a lifetime.
How Does a Student Earn an Invitation?
Black Belt Club is not something you sign up for—it’s something you earn. Here’s what we look for:
- Strong Level 1 Leadership Skills: Standing tall, speaking clearly, and making eye contact.
- Positive Role Model Behavior: Consistent effort in class, respectful attitude, and enthusiasm.
- Engagement: Responding loudly and clearly during class and supporting other student leaders.
Students who demonstrate these qualities show us they’re ready for the responsibility that comes with being a Black Belt Club member.
Your Next Steps
If you or your child is interested in the Black Belt Club, talk to one of our instructors at either our Clayton or Garner location. We’ll provide honest feedback about where your child stands and what steps to take to earn an invitation.
The Black Belt Club isn’t just a program—it’s a pathway to becoming a confident leader both on and off the mat.
