Common Questions
Do I have to be a certain rank to join Leadership?
No fixed rank is required, but we look for strong effort, attitude, and consistency. Ask in class if you’re a good fit.
What if my schedule is tight?
Leadership is flexible: we may run periodic seminars or add short blocks on select days. We’ll announce times in the app.
Can I try Leadership before committing?
Yes—talk to me about attending a leadership seminar as a trial to see if it’s right for you.
Is there extra testing for Leadership?
Leadership builds on your core testing path; you’ll still prepare for color belt and black belt requirements in BBT.
