"Black belts are like Hens teeth at Prokick." said Prokick chief Billy murray. "We don't give them out willie nillie, and even though the two brown belts 3rd stage are so close to achieving their goal, there is still a lot to do yet. It was a tough grading but they battled through and they are worthy martial artists to hold this level, next step black belt."
A grading is when Kickboxing students, non-contact and contact, are assessed through a series of levels / grades, with the base level being White Belt, through ten levels, finally reaching a Dan grade at black belt, which is equivalent, if you like, to a degree level in KickBoxing. This type of achievement would take, on average, between six and eight years.
