The Meaning of the 4th Dan Certificate:
Elevating Martial Arts to an Art Form Through the Flight of the Phoenix (Jujack)
Dear students, look with a sense of awe at the 4th Dan certificate you now hold, marking your ascent near the very pinnacle of martial arts. Engraved upon it in a magnificent and radiant stance is the Phoenix (Jujack), the most auspicious and noble mythical creature of the East, and the absolute ruler of all birds.
The Phoenix embodies the five cardinal virtues (Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom, and Sincerity), singing the most beautiful melodies as it paints the heavens—a true symbol of sublime nobility and ultimate perfection. Only those who have embraced the bravery of the White Tiger, the passion of the Blue Dragon, and the solid depth of the Black Tortoise can finally inherit the wings of the Phoenix.
The reason the Phoenix is engraved on the 4th Dan certificate is to prove that you are no longer a mere practitioner repeating predetermined techniques and forms. You have mastered the absolute command over every element of the martial arts, ascending to the realm of a "Grand Master who expresses their own movement as a beautiful art form."
The Artistry and Originality of Martial Arts Awakened by the Phoenix (Jujack)
The Phoenix on your certificate speaks of a sublime truth—that every single movement of your body must now become a masterpiece that moves the world.
-
First: Breaking the Mold to Awaken Your Own Unique Movement The Phoenix possesses an unparalleled loftiness; it perches only on the Paulownia tree, eats only the fruit of the bamboo, and drinks only from the purest spiritual springs. Having reached the 4th Dan, your martial arts must no longer remain a mere imitation of others. Atop the rock-solid structural foundation you have forged over the years, infuse your own breath and your own rhythm to create original lines and movements that are uniquely yours in this world.
-
Second: An Elegant Flight in Perfect Harmony of Softness and Strength The flight of the Phoenix is never violent, yet it is higher and more majestic than that of any other bird. The realm of the 4th Dan does not display brute force. Through your kicks and strikes, you must express "the living art of martial arts," where a thunderous power is hidden within fluid, water-like softness, and a disciplined beauty flows even amidst a sharp attack.
-
Third: The Dignity of a Master Who Transforms and Leads Others It is said that when the Phoenix appears, peace prevails over the world and all birds follow in its wake. A 4th Dan is more than just an individual practitioner; you are a spiritual leader who inspires others. The very movements you display in the dojang must become an art form that juniors yearn to emulate, serving as a living textbook of the martial arts.
"The 4th Dan is the realm where the mere repetition of technique ends, and your own martial arts begins as an art form."
While the Black Tortoise of the 3rd Dan anchored your roots deeply into the earth, the Phoenix of the 4th Dan now commands you to "soar and take flight, dancing the most beautiful and free dance" upon those solid roots.
The 4th Dan black belt around your waist is no longer just a rank; it is the brush of an artist infused with the very soul of your martial arts journey. Every time your body cuts through the air, it will draw a magnificent trajectory, radiant like the brilliant feathers of the Phoenix.
To our proud 4th Dan Master, soar with the elegance and nobility of the Phoenix, and perfect your martial arts as the most beautiful art form in the world!
