Our Black Belts - American Karate & Self Defense Dallas, Texas

"...the black belt has a humility that is eveident to all who know him. He should have the perseverance to face difficlut cirumstances in the school and outside of it. The black belt should always be in control of himself. And he should be a success in the other areas of life outside the martial arts."

-Keith D. Yates
