The Road to Martial Arts Mastery

The Five Forms to Black is comprised of 5 forms that when learned and practiced will give you the base elements, knowledge and abilities of a First Degree Balck Belt. These forms will also give you the strength, health, flexibility, power and speed necessary to become and grow a dynamic Martial Artist in my association. View Sample Video Here

5 Forms to Black "Youngest"

You know, when I first started the 5 Forms Program, one of the main reasons was to give students who had lost their instructors or school the opportunity to continue their training in a real martial arts system that could allow them to grow and mature in the arts. One my circuit of seminars and trips I get around to a lot of areas where good instruction is available and then gone just as quickly. I met these two fantastic artists a few years ago and I was very taken with them and how far they had come in the arts with their instructor whom I was working with. When their instructor moved they were lost without a kenpo school in their area. Their father contacted us to see about continuing their training via the 5 Forms. Of course he gave them the choice to continue with us and the children decided themselves that it would be a good idea. I remembered both of them as a little shy but very good at the ranks I met them at. They ordered the tapes and low and behold a year or so later we were contacted again and notified that both of them were ready to test. When Mr. Weston and I loaded the test tape into the VCR, we were both surprised and shocked at how intense and proficient both of them were with all of the forms. While they moved a little quickly, they had all of the moves and more importantly the intent of the movements down pat. As they are both very young they can only excel. I can not wait to work with them on a one on one basis because with raw materials as powerful and dedicated as these two, success is guaranteed! Now, as I do not award Full Black Belts to any student under the age of 15 both were awarded Jr. Black Belts. Full Black Belt Certificates will be mailed to them after their 14th Birthdays For their hard work, dedication, and intent to succeed I congratulate both of you and look forward to great things from you in the future. You are a inspiration to not only people of your age but to everyone who is attempting to use the 5 Forms to do great things. I also congratulate your parents for keeping you on the path and for giving you the support and love you need to move forward.. Congratulations to you both, -Grandmaster James Ibrao
