BENEFITS

There are a multitude of options and opportunities as a member of the Phoenix Group. If you are a beginning school, we have a well-established curriculum, which provides consistency throughout the organization and has developed countless black belts and world champions. If you are established, it is also acceptable to have your own curriculum, as long as it meets the Phoenix Group and ITF standards. If you choose to follow the Phoenix Group curriculum, there is a three-person promotion board, which is present at all black belt testings and gives consistency to the quality of our black belts across the organization. Phoenix Group instructors are internationally certified by the ITF. It is also important to have an instructor within the Phoenix Group who will be your primary contact person to answer questions, provide guidance and recommend your promotions.
