National Registration of Black Belts & Singlets
(All Stars Martial Arts Academy & Affiliated Clubs)
Black Belt Pledge
I vow to live my life by the principles of the Black Belt and Black Singlet
Sincerity... Modesty... Courtesy... Self Control... Etiquette... Integrity..... An Unbeatable Spirit
Upon being presented the coveted Black Belt or Black Singlet award the student is required to wear the black belt or singlet for 48-72 hours. You MUST NOT take the belt off for any reason, you are to shower with it on (cover it with glad wrap first), go to school with it on, go to work with it on, go to bed with it on, go everywhere with it on, and be proud of what you have achieved. This is to make sure you remember that everyday from this point onwards you are a Black Belt or Singlet on the inside and the outside, in and out of the dojo, where ever you go you are a Black Belt or Singlet of the All Stars Martial Arts Academy. You have worked extremely hard over many years to achieve what most people couldnt achieve in their lifetime. To wake up in the morning with your belt or singlet still on after the grading day is really a life changing experience.
A true Black Belt and Singlet following the path of bushido unwittingly changes his way of life, for he or she can never be the same person again. You are now registered on the national black belt and black singlet register.
Responsibilities & Behavior - Directive
To ensure we maintain and uphold the great reputation and integrity of the All-Stars Martial Arts System I am obligated to provide you all with the following directive:
‘Any unacceptable behavior set out in the All-Stars Martial Arts Systems guidelines by any individuals inside or outside of the dojo will not be tolerated!’
This is something that we all need to be concerned with as a single incident can destroy your credibility, your reputation and the reputation of All-Stars. Remember you are representing All Stars all day everyday as Teachers/Instructors of All-Stars in everything you do in and out of the dojo.
If you cannot accept the responsibility that goes with being a black belt / singlet or teacher/instructor then you may need to consider relinquishing your rank and title before it’s
stripped from you.
As Black Belts/Singlet’s - Teachers/Instructors, you have both a legal and ethical obligation to maintain the highest standards and ethics in and out of the dojo. You need to be setting a moral and ethical example that others would be proud to follow. Failure to follow the All-Stars Martial Arts Systems guidelines for ethical and moral behavior may result in you being stripped of your rank/title or expulsion from All-Stars martial Arts Systems. It is the individual’s responsibility to adhere to these guidelines.
Responsibility of a Black Belt/Singlet
- To set the highest example and standards for others to follow
- To assist the head instructor with teaching other students the way of martial arts
- To study and learn and look at opening a club one day to pass on the art / tradition
- To maintain your own skills up to your current rank
- To attend grading’s whenever possible
- To call grading’s whenever possible if asked to do so
- To be a mentor for the junior ranked students
- To consult with your head instructor on issues of concern
- To live the way of bushido
- To always upholds the honor of the school,
- To never talk badly about another students or instructor
- To instruct any students that may have a concern or dispute about another student the right way to go about it
- To always support and be loyal to the school and the head instructor
- To be or do your best (not be the best, do your best) you can in everything you do in and out of the dojo.
- To be the best partner, husband/wife, brother/sister, father/mother, boyfriend/girlfriend, son/daughter you can be
Reflection
I hope all Black Belt / Singlet instructors take the time to read this, so that we can reflect and take note of the great responsibility we all wear and carry as black Belts/Singlet’s or teachers of All Stars Martial Arts- it should not be taken lightly. If you are not behaving in the correct way in or out of the dojo, use this letter as your one and only warning to get your act together. I will find out who is not setting the highest standards of ethics inside or outside the dojo and I will take action. Please do not lose the faith I have in you all, to set the highest standards that reflect what All Stars is about.
