Isabelle Kiester-Fusaro is Named MuSool Black Belt 26

Isabelle Kiester-Fusaro was selected as a MuSool Black Belt by the MuSool Black Belt Board on July 17th, 2010. She is the 26th MuSool Black Belt in the Corps (each MuSool Black Belt is assigned a number). The selection process took three hours to complete and included, basic to advanced techniques, forms, self-defense, sparring, board breaking and an oral question and answer session.

Isabelle was in the MuSool Advanced Training Techniques (MATTs) under Master Shelby Creech for 9 months before being granted a selection date. The MATTs Program is the course designed to get the candidate into tip top shape and improve their skills so they can make it through the selection process.

The MuSool Black Belt Board that Selected her consisted of: Master Shelby Creech, MSBB01; Master Brian Stanton, MSBB02; Leila Klimm, MSBB05, Allana Kuack-Creech, MSBB07; Jackie Lauricella, MSBB09, Master Chuck Moore, MSBB13; Aymee Fremont, MSBB16; and Bo Godawa MSBB24. Joe Ascone, a past black belt of Master Creech and a current Marine Hand to Hand Combat Instructor, was also on hand.

The MuSool Black Belt

By Shelby Creech, MSBB01
On Saturday, July 17th; Isabelle Kiester-Fusaro will be going through her MuSool Black Belt Selection. If selected by the current MuSool Black Belts, she will have the honor to put on a Black Belt herself. Notice I did not say she was testing for her Black Belt? She is being selected for her Black Belt.

MuSool Academy selects their Black Belts a little differently than most martial arts schools. With that being said, I am not downing any other school or system on how they test or select their Black Belts. I am just stating that we do it a little bit different.

The main difference is that the MuSool Black Belt Candidates must complete a minimum of six months of MATTs training. MATTs stands for MuSool Advance Training Techniques and is a course where there is one current MuSool Black Belt instructing one current MuSool Black Belt Candidate. The MATTs Instructor is in charge of everything that Candidate does and how he or she trains. Without the Instructors release of the Candidate in MATTs there is no Black Belt Selection Granted.

The MATTs Program has three phases to completion. Phase one is the Physical Phase, phase two is the Skills Phase and phase three is the Combat Phase. Each phase in consists of techniques that will help that candidate obtain a MuSool Black Belt.
In the MATTs program every session is a test to help the candidate get selected for their MuSool Black Belt. The selection itself is ran to fail the Candidate so they have the opportunity to prove themselves a true MuSool Black Belt and Warrior.

Once the selection is complete the current MuSool Black Belts will vote and select the candidate to be part of the MuSool Black Belt Corps or send them back into the MATTs Program. If the candidate passes they will be issued a number as well. Isabelle will be MSBB26.

If you would like to see Isabelle go through her selection, it is scheduled for 10am this Saturday.

MuSool Academy Announces New Open House Date

MuSool Academy Port Orange will host an Open House on Saturday August, 28th at 10am.
