Enforcer Rank Insignia
The Elite-Fighters System of martial arts has adopted insignia to represent each rank of the system. Insignia are symbols that are designed to give meaning beyond the image that they represent. The development of symbols follow the pattern from an actual object - to an image of that object - finally to the symbol that metaphorically represents the object and imparts deeper meaning to the initiated.
The objects from which we derive symbols for the Elite-Fighters Ranking Insignia come from the six main armor pieces of the Roman Centurion. The Roman Centurions are considered, by historians, as the greatest warriors that the world has known until the modernization of warfare in the last two centuries. The Romans conquered their enemy and then assimilated them into their government to form the amalgamated Roman Empire. The Elite-Fighters System of Martial Arts has taken the approach of the Roman Empire to conquer the martial art systems and amalgamate them into the most efficient and unique martial art in modern history.
The object representing the Enforcer Rank is the breastplate of the centurion, or lorica segmentata. The lorica segmentata protected the centurion's heart and vital organs. The centurion would derive confidence in his armour, allowing him to fight with the character of a centurion - not being concerned about being injured, but remaining focused on achieving victory. The insignia is symbolized by two squares representing the upper chest lorica, or armour, and three long rectangles below, representing the segmentata, or body armour. The Enforcer Rank introduces you to the Advanced Offensive Methods of Fighting, Takedowns, Reactionary Defensive Methods against all of the multiple strike attacks, and Destruction Strategies. The Enforcer Rank requires noble character and justice. Justice, therefore, is the hidden meaning of the insignia for the Enforcer Rank.
