WHAT IS THE BLACK BELT CLUB?

The CTA ® Black Belt Club was formed as preparation for the Masters Club Training program, as we found that jumping right from basic into Masters Club Training can be overwhelming at times especially to the younger students.

This phase includes an emphasis on Single Escrima Stick training and Single Nunchuka Training; it includes all CTA ® Basic Training.

The CTA ® Black Belt Club is the intermediate course which when taken, will enable students to grasp advanced concepts with greater ease.
When the Black Belt Club student becomes proficient with the Single Escrima and Single Nunchuka, we recommend they then upgrade into the prestigiousMasters’ Club Program.
