Student Rankings
The testing requirements of the Missouri Budo Taijutsu Dojo are strict. The standards of performance, understanding and ability are the very highest. The time required to reach first degree black belt is 4 years minimum of continuously active and progressive training. We only award black belt ranks to adults. The student must posses an appropriate level of maturity, and technical and tactical knowledge, as well as display realistic combat ability appropriate for the rank.
Caution is advised when seeking a dojo, because many have no standards at all. You should thoroughly investigate any dojo you are considering joining. There is a wide range of quality. Look for realism (effectiveness and honesty), authenticity (tradition and lineage), and instructor quality (experience, integrity and communication).
