Samurai Arts Academy, we believe in the continual growth and improvement of our students, which is why we award the title of “Senpai” to those who have reached the red belt level.
Black Belt Sensei is the next progression in our ranking system, as students demonstrate mastery of the techniques and principles taught in our academy. Sensei means teacher, as those who hold this title are not only skilled martial artists but also mentors and leaders within our community.
Master Black Belt Shihan is the highest honour we bestow upon our students, reserved for those who exemplify the highest level of skill, knowledge, and character. Shihan means master teacher, and those who hold this title are considered true experts in the art of the samurai.
At Samurai Arts Academy, we are dedicated to honouring the traditions and values of the samurai warriors, while also helping our students develop both physical and mental strength. Whether you are looking to improve your fitness, learn self-defence, or simply challenge yourself to grow, our academy welcomes students of all ages and skill levels. Join us on the path of the warrior and discover the power within you at Samurai Arts Academy in Metcalfe.
