Belt Ranking System and Testing
Understanding the Belt Ranking System: Progression, Stripes, and What They Mean
In martial arts, the belt ranking system represents a student's progress, dedication, and mastery of skills over time. Belts signify levels of knowledge and proficiency, starting from White Belt for beginners and advancing through colors like Green and Brown, ultimately reaching Black Belt. Within each belt level, stripes are earned to indicate progress and readiness to advance to the next rank. The belts and stripes serve as milestones, motivating students to continually improve, face challenges, and demonstrate their ability to perform under pressure, both in the dojo and in life.

Louis Neglia Martial Arts System: A Complete Stand-Up and Self-Defense Training Approach
Master a Blend of Karate, Kickboxing, Boxing, Muay Thai, and Jiu-Jitsu with a Focus on Confidence, Discipline, and Real-World Applications
Louis Neglia Martial Arts System is a mix of styles: karate, kickboxing, boxing, Muay Thai, and Self-defense. Karate, kickboxing, boxing, and Muay Thai are mixed into one complete stand-up striking style. It covers everything you need to be fully confident on your feet.
Self-defense involves jiu-jitsu and other traditional martial arts styles. These moves are for the street and can be used in MMA competitions. This will help build a strong base and keep you well-rounded as a stand-up fighter.
Belts go from White to Green to Brown to Black, and then different variations of Black belts are available. We test for rank (stripes) on our belt to advance yearly. Testing involves 8 or more test categories. You must perform these drills under pressure and to the best of your ability. To be a ranked student, you must show that you can handle the pressure of the drills and not fold under them. This will help you deal with the pressures in life that we all experience.
