Each student will receive a CTF certificate certifying their rank each time they test (except when they are promoted to 1st, 2nd, or 3rd black recommended ranks).
Each member will receive a CTF patch and CTF Student Membership Card upon joining or renewing their membership. They also will receive a CTF bumper sticker when they renew their membership. Just click on the patch if you want to renew your CTF membership on-line.
Each student has the right to CTF training through their instructor, a CTF affiliated school in another area (at no charge) when they are traveling, and special CTF seminars and camps.
Members may participate in the CTF tournamentprograms. Tournaments are a great way to meet new people, practice your skills and see how you are progressing, find inspiration and motivation to train harder. Competition is like life - not everyone can take home the 1st place trophy and how we learn to deal with defeat is probably much more important than winning.
SIDEKICK NEWS - We publish a monthly newsletter for the benefit of all CTF members. The newsletter is published on the CTF web site, emailed to all member schools and any student who requests an individual copy.
Black belt members may attend the CTF’s annual Black Belt Banquet where we recognize those members who have excelled during the year. If you couldn’t make it to this year’s banquet see our Hall of Fame for our honorees!
