 The Black Belt Academy Tournament Competition Team has been developed
by Master
Nyce and Master Ehrlich for serious BBA members to have an opportunity
to
represent The BBA and test their skills in open tournament
competition.
Master Neil Ehrlich, with his extensive competition experience, is the
head
coach. Serious martial artists will improve their skills at a more
rapid
rate when training for, participating in, and studying tournament
competition.
Master Ehrlich will afford the team a martial arts education that
cannot be
equaled by any other martial arts training center. The instruction the
TCT(Tournament Competition Team) members will receive is over and above
the
standard BBA curriculum.
This training will include, but is not limited
to:
Advanced physical conditioning
Kickboxing training
Advanced sparring and technical drills
Tournament form instruction
Chinese martial arts training
Weapons instruction
Judge and referee training
Special seminars where TCT mbrs. will have the first
opportunity to register.
