Elite-Fighters Ranking System©
The Elite-Fighting Ranking System© is the most innovative system of testing and ranking in martial arts history. This system is designed to allow you to determine exactly where you are in your training and to assist you in achieving your potential in the martial arts. This system is designed with consideration to bring out the best in the western mind set, without compromising religious or nationalistic beliefs, as opposed to most of the other martial arts that embed eastern religions and force the student bow to flags of other nations. In fact, rather than awarding ambiguous belts for accomplishment, the Elite-Fighting System has introduced an innovative class distinction for each level of development. As you learn and train with the Elite-Fighting System of the Martial Arts, you will agree that this rank classification is more highly esteemed than just another belt, and the program is more motivating for your personal development than the well worn, routine drills that you probably have already experienced. Through the process of preparation of ranking with The Elite-Fighting Ranking System, you will develop yourself to be in the top shape physically, psychologically and spiritually.
The Elite-Fighting Ranking System© is divided into six unique levels of classification. They are: (click for a description of what each classification entails)
The unique training program of the Elite-Fighters System of Martial Arts allows you to develop highly focused areas of the martial arts, while at the same time, making you a well rounded fighter. Each level progressively adds fighting methods, techniques, basics and strategies completely integrated in the previously acquired material.
Each classification level is further divided into six grades of accomplishment. They are: (click for a description of what each grade represents)
Each level is representative of the amount of accomplishment that you demonstrate when you attempt a ranking trial. For each class that you attempt to rank in, you must accomplish and demonstrate certain feats, physical accomplishments, applications and other criteria required to be ranked within that classification. The criteria will be listed with each class description.
Below is a chart detailing the minimum standards to be ranked in each Class:
(You must attain the minimum grades in each class to be ranked in that class. The minimum grades are shaded in green. The white grades will be unacceptable for ranking. The red grades are more desirable)

In other words, the minimum grade that you should score at the trials to be ranked in a particular class is:
Defender – competent
Guardsman – competent
Enforcer – proficient
Protector – proficient
Lancer – expert
Paladin – expert
You may score higher to be ranked. For example, if you were taking the trails for Enforcer, and you scored a grade as expert, your rank would be:
Enforcer class – Expert grade.
There are shorthand notations for these rankings as well:
The class followed by a numeric superscript can represent to rank. For example, enforcer class – Expert grade would be - Enforcer5 - representing enforcer at the 5th grade (expert) – or numerically as III5. The Roman numerals represent the numeric value of the class.
