NEW Karate Jutsu Black Belt Training in Burlington, NC - June 10, 2023

Image should be 650px wide

Want to Earn a Black Belt in Karate Jutsu?

Ever wanted to pursue rank with the Dragon Society International (DSI) but felt overwhelmed? Not sure where to start? No idea what is required? Wished you had someone to walk you through it?

I get it! We hear these questions a lot and now you can get all your questions answered. Not only that, but you will get it straight from the source - Professor Rick Moneymaker, co-founder of Karate Jutsu.

What if I am Not Ready for a Black Belt or Don't Want to Test?

We know not everyone is looking for rank advancement. And trust us; not everyone is ready for that to be honest. Whether you intend to ever achieve your Black Belt in Karate Jutsu or you just want to attain the knowledge to make you a better Martial Artist, this series is for you and is open to all ranks and styles. We will cover the required curriculum for a Shodan (1st Degree Black Belt) in Karate Jutsu.

The training will be customized for the participants so you learn at your own pace regardless of your level of experience. We will have multiple Certified Instructors to guide you, all led by Professor Moneymaker himself. You will learn the techniques, variations, and sciences required if you decide to pursue testing for rank with DSI. For those wishing to test, we will offer optional rank testing at the conclusion of the series.

Achieve Your Goals!

Let's be clear. Just attending the seminar series alone isn't enough. You will have to put the work in yourself and practice diligently between sessions. All we can do is guide you; passing the test is up to you! We will work with you all along the process every step of the way. All will be done to help you achieve your goals.

Maybe you are a lower rank and not ready to test. No problem! This preparation course will make you a better Martial Artist and you can always pursue testing later - if that is what you want. Or, you can simply become a better Martial Artist as you learn to do Karate Jutsu the right way!

Make History with DSI!

This is something very new for us and you have the opportunity to be part of the history. Our first seminar will be June 10 in Burlington, North Carolina at Isaac's Martial Arts. Cost will be only $50 for a four hour seminar. Registration is available at events.dragonsociety.com.

All participants will receive a beautiful certificate of training!

Presently, we are estimating at least five seminars in the series but this is subject to change.

Keep an eye out for more information to follow...

President Kempo International

We’ve gotten incredible feedback from our Zoom students, so we know you’re going to love it!

Free Access Codes – Starting Tomorrow
Starting tomorrow, my team will begin sending you daily access codes and passwords for our live Zoom classes for a full week. Your free access will end on Saturday, July 25, 2020.

When you get the access email, all you need to do is click on the link for the lesson(s) you want to join, enter the password we provide, and you are in!

The best part is that you don’t need a training partner, and since these are LIVE two-way video lessons, we’ll be able to see you, and you’ll be able to see us in real time!

What Happens After One Week?
I’m convinced that after you try our Zoom classes for one week, you’re going to be shocked by how much progress can be made from home. If you fall in love with the programs, you’ll have the opportunity to enroll in one of our Zoom Membership Plans after the free trial is over. The plans vary in price based on the program you select and your training frequency. All the program options and pricing details will be sent your way at the end of your one-week trial period.

What’s Stopping You?
Whether you’re new to jiu-jitsu, or you are a seasoned practitioner, if you haven’t tried our Zoom classes yet, chances are it’s because you are being blocked by one of these five questions/concerns:

1. How can I learn with no training partner?
We’ve modified all of the techniques in all of our programs to be practicable without a partner. Through Zoom classes we’ll help you master 80% of each technique, so that when you get back to partnered practice, all you have to do is make 20% adjustments to make it perfect. It’s been remarkably effective!

2. What if I don’t have an official uniform or grappling mats?
No problem. Over 80% of our Zoom students are training on carpet or another soft surface, and they are making incredible progress! Uniforms are not required either. Just wear comfortable workout attire and you’re good to go!

3. I have no previous experience. Which program/classes should I do?
What sets Gracie University apart is that we’ve created unique programs for each demographic. No matter what your age, gender, or experience level, we have a perfect jiu-jitsu program for you!

Gracie Combatives: Beginner jiu-jitsu for adults (ages 13+). No experience necessary.
Master Cycle: Advanced jiu-jitsu for adults. At least 12 months of consistent BJJ experience required.
Women Empowered: Beginners jiu-jitsu for adult females (ages 13+). No experience necessary.
Gracie Bullyproof: Beginner jiu-jitsu for children (ages 4 to 12). No experience necessary.
Black Belt Club: Advanced jiu-jitsu for children (ages 8 to 12). At least 12 months of consistent BJJ experience required.
FITjitsu: Full-body jiu-jitsu fitness classes for the whole family. No experience necessary.

More information on each of the programs can be found in the New Student Handbook.

4. I’m scared of getting injured or embarrassed. Am I allowed to watch instead of participate?
What’s amazing about Zoom classes is that injuries and embarrassment so commonly associated with BJJ group classes are non-existent because you’re working by yourself in the safety of your own home. If you’d rather watch, that’s totally fine, but once you see how easy, safe, and effective the classes are, you will have the urge to participate, so don’t resist – get down and join the fun!

5. I’m in a different time zone, how can I enjoy the lessons?
We recognize that not every student can join the live sessions when they happen due to being in different time zones. As a result, we digitally record every Zoom session in HD and make the recordings available to all of our ZOOM UNLIMITED students so they can enjoy the classes from home at a time that is convenient for them.

Now that we got those out of the way, the only thing stopping you is YOU!

We don’t know how long regular jiu-jitsu practice will be affected by COVID-19, so this is a very unique training opportunity to attend live classes and learn jiu-jitsu from home, without a partner. If you’re even the slightest bit curious about our live Zoom classes, don’t miss this opportunity!

To be clear, each student only gets one free trial in our Zoom program. So if you don’t take advantage of the free trial week this time around, there will not be another opportunity.

No action is required right now, but as soon as you start receiving access codes to the live classes, make sure you take full advantage!

I can’t wait to meet you on the big green mat!

Meeting ID: 839 6694 6955

Password: 295341

To join any lesson, simply follow these three steps:

1. Go to www.Zoom.us

2. Enter the Meeting ID

3. Enter the password and you’re in!

We’re very excited to see you in class. Here is what to expect:

40-Minute Lessons: Each lesson will be approximately 40 minutes long – kids’ classes are approximately 30 minutes long.
No Partner Required: We have completely re-structured all adult programs so that every Zoom class can be completed solo. If you have a partner, that’s fine, it’s not necessary. If there is anyone in your household that wants to join in on the fun, they’re certainly invited to do so. For our kids’ classes, a partner is recommended (a parent or sibling is perfect!). The partner doesn’t need to have any experience, and if a parent or sibling isn’t available, a large pillow or teddy bear works great!
No Special Equipment: All you’ll really need is a small amount of open floor space (6ft x 6ft is plenty) and some form of padding to move on. Grappling mats are great, but not necessary. A soft carpeted area will work fine.
Full Attendance Credit for Every Zoom Class: We are so confident you will make measurable progress, that each time you attend a Zoom session, and complete the entire class, we will be pulling your attendance card and issuing full credit (check mark) for your participation!

One thing to keep in mind is that Zoom class spots are filled on a first-come-first-served basis and there is a limit to the number of people allowed in each live Zoom meeting. So if you don’t get in, chances are it’s because we reached capacity and we apologize in advance. Depending on how much participation we get, we will look to add more classes to the schedule so that we can make room for everyone to participate.

Make no mistake about it, these are official classes, and each Zoom session will be conducted with the same respect and considerations that are utilized in regular classes. Here are some of the best practices to keep in mind:

5 Minutes Early: Plan arriving at least five minutes early to each session. This will give you time troubleshoot any connection issues as well as chat with the instructors before class.
Unmute Your Audio: The moderator will handle all muting/unmuting during Q&A time, so please default your audio to “unmuted” so that we can let you in the discussion without delays.
Attire: If you own a gi

and/or a rashguard

, feel free to wear it. If not, no worries, just wear comfortable workout attire. A t-shirt or rashguard that covers your shoulders is recommended.
