Dear Black Belt Candidate,

The time has come to begin preparing for what promises to be the largest and most exciting Black Belt event in IMAA history.

We are proud to announce the IMAA Black Belt Spectacular 2026, taking place on:

🥋 Friday, December 18, 2026

This year we anticipate approximately:

• 20 Shodan (1st Degree Black Belt) Candidates
• 4 Nidan (2nd Degree Black Belt) Candidates

Earning a Black Belt is not about a single day of testing. It is the result of years of dedication, perseverance, discipline, and personal growth. The Black Belt represents leadership, character, and the commitment to never give up.

To begin this journey together, all candidates and families are required to attend our first candidate meeting:

📍 IMAA Headquarters
📅 Thursday, July 23, 2026
⏰ 7:00 PM

During this meeting we will review:
• Testing requirements
• Training schedule
• Candidate expectations
• Uniform and weapons requirements
• Volunteer opportunities
• Black Belt Spectacular details

This is your opportunity to become part of a legacy that began over 22 years ago and continues to inspire future generations of martial artists.

Train hard. Stay focused. Trust the process.

Remember:

"A Black Belt is a White Belt who never quit."

We look forward to celebrating this incredible journey with you.

Respectfully,

Shihan Daniel Ruocco
International Martial Arts Academy
Professor & Chief Master Instructor
