World Black Belt School Membership
A Triple Win for Martial Arts

World Black Belt, the world’s first and foremost international on-line martial arts community, now offers the ultimate school membership program. This new program will dramatically impact your school’s bottom line and increase your networking and marketing potential. World Black Belt recently created this special membership for school owners only and it will make additional income for your school, while at the same time provide your students with all of the benefits and services of World Black Belt. Furthermore, by joining the world’s greatest martial arts community, we will be working together to make a better martial arts world. Everyone wins with the World Black Belt school membership.

As you may know, World Black Belt was founded in 2000 by Chuck Norris, Bob Wall, General Choi, Gene LeBell and about 50 of the world’s top martial artists with the mission of building bridges and unifying all martial artists through information and communication. With the launch of our website www.WorldBlackBelt.com, we became the world’s first international martial arts online community and we now have almost half a million members from countries all over the world.We are an alliance of martial artists from white belts to Grandmasters and we offer so many benefits and services that we are called the “Triple A” of the martial arts. A one year membership with World Black Belt costs only $30 and it includes access to the website and a membership card. The card works like a “Triple A” card (show your card and save) and we have discounts for most major martial arts events/tournaments, as well as for Hertz, Enterprise, Marriott Hotels and many others. At the website, the member can access a discussion forum, a chat room and they receive an email address and an individual web page that is great for marketing and promotions. We also have our Black Belt Pages (the world’s largest martial arts schools directory), our Events Hot List with discounts for WBB members and new programs that we’re adding all the time. For example, we just launched our new youth program, called the Junior World Black Belt Club which includes a kid’s only webpage and several special programs for children. All WBB members 17 & under are automatically members of the Junior World Black Belt Club and it provides them with a fun and informative articles, as well as numerous special programs such as our collaboration with Movies By Kids.

One of the greatest benefits of a School Membership with World Black Belt is belonging to the ultimate martial arts association and having access to the world’s best martial artists. As a World Black Belt School Member, your school will be listed in the world famous Black Belt Pages in the prominent position and be part of the ultimate martial arts school network. In the next few months, World Black Belt will be introducing several new programs specifically designed for the WBB School Members, including seminars with our Founding Members and Living Legends.

World Black Belt developed another unique product several years ago called the Black Belt Credit Card with MBNA, the world’s largest credit card company and it’s been an incredible success. In fact, the card has been so successful that MBNA can now include third line embossing at no extra charge and as a result, they will print the name of a martial arts organization at the bottom of the card for their members. The card can have very positive PR effects and we have created an excellent commission program. The participating organization will receive a commission for every new sign up and more importantly, there will be more business opportunities in the future (such as sponsorships from MBNA, etc). With this new program, it will cost the organization nothing to promote and it will make money as well as provide a great new product for the students and members.

President and CEO of World Black Belt, Inc, Bob Wall is very proud that your students will get great benefits from their individual membership. The website encourages reading, writing and communication with other martial artists and it will educate the new generation about the history and pioneers of martial arts. However, Bob Wall is most proud of the fact that some of the information at our website can change and save lives. The “Your Health” section of the WBB website has several articles about life saving tips that have been proven to reduce the risk of cancer and to aid in the recovery from this insidious disease. World Black Belt works with Spice Williams, an internationally recognized expert in Nutritional Science, to provide our members with the latest information for their health and fitness.

The ultimate goal for World Black Belt is to serve all martial artists and to help each of us on our martial arts journey. When we all come together for a greater purpose, we are collectively stronger and we will be able to accomplish anything. The World Black Belt School Membership is the ultimate Triple Win: it’s good for the school, it’s great for the students and it’s terrific the martial arts world.
