World Black Belt Canada recently launched
Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

World Black Belt announces full service in Canada, complete with all access and benefits offered by the international website and more. Yes it’s true! This is not a typical organization, where the benefits pass to the United States, but will instead be a Canadian organization, conceived and launched for the benefit and use of Canadians, and managed by Canadians. This is a stand-alone enterprise partnered with the parent company, World Black Belt.

World Black Belt Canada will be led by Grand Master Charles Platten. Mr. Platten is no stranger to the world martial arts theater with over 40 years training, teaching and coaching expertise. Chuck, as he likes to be called, is one of the founding members of World Black Belt. He holds certification in Hapkido, Karate, Judo, Jui Jitsu, and has been affiliated over the years with many international organizations, including the World Mudo Federation.
