Rank Advancement
Philosophy
At Fuzion, we believe that the quality of skills and values learned by a student is more important than the color of their belt. While rank and advancement are critical to growth, our commitment to our students is to never promote someone before they are ready. Our instructors attempt to ensure that the physical and life-skills they learn can be used in a positive manner daily. Students should understand that everyone is on their own journey through the study of marital arts. The requirements and timeframes illustrated in our program are the minimum expectations. They may be modified based on a student’s growth, maturity, and readiness. Fuzion’s rank advancement philosophy is simply to focus, train hard and enjoy the journey.
