Elite-Fighters Ranking
Promotions
The following individuals
have been tested in the Ranking
Trials and have been promoted to their respective ranks. The Ranking
Trials are difficult, but fair. Each individual attempting the ranking
trials undergoes the same standardized
criteria to determine his/her placement. The Trials usually take
2-3 hours, split over a two day period for optimum performance.
In the table below, you
will notice two promotional types - Elite-Fighters Promotions and American
Kenpo Legacy Association Promotions (AKLA). Individuals successfully
passing the requirements for the AKLA belt promotions are also ranked
with the Elite-Fighters Ranking System. Individuals who prefer not to
test for belt ranking will be listed in the Elite-Fighters Column only.
This is an option that we extend to you.
Note:
We have had several individuals to request that they do not have their
names listed in the promotional chart because, 1) they wish to remain
anonymous, 2) they have a student following and do not want to alarm
their students that they are learning a different system, 3) they already
have acquired a reputation for their current standing in the world of
martial arts, and 4) other personal reasons. We respect your rights
to privacy and will not expose your testing status if that is your wish.
However, we do encourage everyone who test to boldly, and proudly identify
themselves with either the Elite-Fighters System of Martial Arts and/or
the American Kenpo Legacy Association
