Bacl Belt Equivalent

[KNOCKuOUT]

What does it mean when someone has the rank of a black belt equivalent in some form of martial arts? How do they obtain that? Or even when it says Level two instructor?...

Ok, so the not having a belt system makes sense. But then if someone says, for instance, that their a level two instructor in jeet kune do concepts, does this just mean they have certification to teach jeet kune do? And if anyone can answer this, then how does one obtain such a certification?

well you're first step is to become a ranking practitioner in the style. Then if you want to be “certified” you need to contact an organization and ask them what you need to do.

Wow, there is a lot of certifications to go through there. That is quite a vast system. Thanks for sharing that information.
