Black Belt Club
Bushi Kai Martial Arts has instituted a Black Belt Club for the school. Unlike some clubs of this nature, there is no monetary commitment from the student. The following guidelines have to be met for induction into our Black Belt Club:
Must have expressed a desire to achieve the rank of Black Belt, and show activity towards that goal.
Must be a Green Belt or higher.
Must demonstrate a willingness to teach and to help others in their involvement in the Art.
Must show consistent attendance and have trained a minimum of one year with our school.
I am proud to announce the first three inductees into our Black Belt Club. These three have embodied the tenets listed above, and have dedicated themselves to a higher standard. The first three inducted on February 10th, 2000 (and their ranks at that time) were:
Carly Wasson - Advanced Purple Belt
Emily Koontz - Green Belt (successfully promoted to Sho-Dan 1/28/01)
Clay Christal - Green Belt
The fourth member of the Black Belt Club was inducted on 2/12/00 after his successful promotion to Green Belt.
Chad Adams - Green Belt
The fifth member was inducted on April 17th, 2000.
Bill Black - Green Belt
Roster of newest members and induction dates:
Tina Lenz ~ Green Belt December 2000.
Kayci Sayre ~ Green Belt, May 2001
Jeff Carlile ~ Blue Belt. May 2001 (An exception was made for rank, due to the enormous amount of
time and effort Mr. Carlile has given to the Indianapolis class. Promoted to Green Belt 12/01)
Billy Emerson ~ Green Belt, June 2001
Cindy Herron ~ Adv. Purple Belt, November 2001
Lisa Lustgarten ~ Green Belt, November 2001
Paul Leeka ~ Purple Belt, January 2002
Congratulations! Keep up the intensity and the training, and I will be proud to welcome you into the ranks of Yudansha.
