Welcome to the FKKA wall of fame

Welcome to the FKKA
wall of fame

Here you will find many Black Belt Degree Graduates, but not all, who have come up the FKKA ranks.
(Black Belt Degrees are awarded to those individuals who exemplify dedication, outstanding skills, excellent system understanding, who adhere to the “Student/Instructor Code of Conduct” pages, and have shown the ability to put their training to use in other facets of their lives.)
SCROLL DOWN

NAME REMOVAL IS PERMANENT !!!
If you, the student, decide to have your name removed from the FKKA Wall of Fame/Family Tree, please offer an in-person verbal request (No other forms of request will be accepted or reviewed). That’s because the FKKA Instructors need to make sure that you are the one making the request for name removal. If you are under age 18, make sure a parent accompanies you for the signing of the permanent name removal. Otherwise, enjoy your well-deserved recognition and begin your climb today.

Footnote: By chance, if you feel that your name was left off in error, just stop by the academy and let the Grandmaster know of your graduation dates and times for reinstatement purposes. Please, bring your graduation diplomas as proof to be reinstated. No other forms of request will be accepted or reviewed!

CONGRATULATIONS !!!
On earning your Black Belt. It’s obvious to the FKKA Top Black Belt Degree graduates that you are an accomplished martial artist, having attained this excellent achievement, and because of a decision you made. A serious decision! (A decision to stick to your dream, overcome countless obstacles, and never to give up.)

Please, enjoy your well-deserved recognition and continue your climb today.

Flaherty’s Kenpo Karate Association (FKKA) is very proud of, and excited for, all our 1st degree black belt graduates (Associate Instructors). Without a doubt, your performances were among the best of the best within the martial arts industry. Based on your evaluations, both in class, and during each test examination, your black belt instructors highly respect and honor you. Black Belt students, it’s also important to remember that there is much more to learn, and the more you practice, the more skillful you’ll become.
Without a doubt, “Your martial arts skills are growing!”

About the FKKA “Wall of Fame” Graduates:
Welcome to Flaherty’s Kenpo Karate Association’s Wall of Fame. FKKA founder, Randall Flaherty, is proud to display the names of respected and honored black belt graduating members, beginning with the Junior Black Belts, up to and including, the 10th Degree, the Grandmaster’s level. Those listed are there because they have been recommended by top FKKA Black Belt Instructors, and are specially chosen individuals who have demonstrated their willingness to represent Flaherty’s Kenpo Karate through their participation within our training programs, seminars or workshops, through the road trips they have made for Black Belt Degree testing, or through their studies under the tutelage and leadership of the FKKA’s Grandmaster.
The instructors and business owners of Flaherty’s Kenpo Karate Association (FKKA) want to offer a warm thank you to all members for your years of participation, personal training, testing sacrifices, contributions, and service!
Wall of Fame Placement:
Names of the newest Black Belt Student graduates will be placed at the bottom of each Wall of Fame area, giving them inspiration to look up and reach toward higher degree ranks. Again, newly graduating members begin their climb at the bottom, while those with more experience have earned higher placement on the Wall of Fame.
Keep Being Great !!!

Welcome 2nd Degree Black Belt graduates to the FKKA Instructor rank. All your hard work is paying off, as you continue to pursue higher degrees for development and learning, and while you continue to participate in all recommended classes. In this level you will learn advanced weapons sets, directional flow, angular attacking concepts, advanced Kenpo principles and theories, on-going history lessons, and much more.
Keep up the GREAT training work !!!

Awesome! Congratulations, you did it. You made it to the beginning of higher learning, training, and developing. During this JUNIOR BLACK BELT level you can expect to learn more complex material that will ultimately prepare you for the challenges of the FKKA Degrees. In addition, it’s important to remember: learn all you can, practice more, and get ready for the 1st Degree Black Belt test (before age 17). After the age of 17, you will be require to wear the Brown/Black Belt once again, because, the “Junior” level is only for students within the ages of 10 thru 17.
“Keep up the GREAT work and test when you are ready!”
