the martial arts as a journey as well as a way of life. We believe
that there is no end in a persons martial arts training. Street
Defense is a huge source of information. We have had students train
for well over 13 years and continue to grow and learn new knowledge.

2) The amount of time
it takes to get a Street Defense black belt varies from person to
person. Unlike most commercial martial arts schools, Street Defense
has an incredibly high criteria for it’s black belts. The process
is as follows. First a student must become an apprentice instructor
(Teishi) for close to six months as well as pass a written
certification exam. After that a Teishi may be promoted to an
assistant instructor (Kohai). A Kohai must then instruct for close
to a year and pass another written certification examination before
he/she can be considered to be eligible for promotion to head
assistant instructor (Sempai). A Sempai must gain roughly over a
years experience as well as pass a third written examination before
they are eligible for a Street Defense black belt. TOP
3)Street Defense
studies the combat attributes of over 6 styles. These styles
include Karate, Kali, Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai kickboxing,
and Ju-Jitsu. Seminars are periodically offered in which
certification with different weapons is made possible. These include
Throwing knives, a wide variety of Okinawan weaponry (KoBudo),
Samurai sword (Kenjitsu), and fire arms. Seminars teaching First
aid, Pressure points, Japanese Language, martial law, and street
tactics are offered as well. TOP
4)Unlike most
commercial martial arts schools, Street Defense has no belt
testing fees. The price for promotion is improved character
development, hard work, good technique, and dedication to the
martial arts. TOP
