We have two opportunities for you to test to earn your black belt. One is at Mountain Quest (August) and one is Winter Quest (January or February). You must attend one of these two seminars to earn your black belt. Each candidate is responsible for finding a demo partner and putting together a 12-technique demonstration. When you are eligible to test, you will receive a letter from the dojo inviting you to test, an intent to promote form, and information on putting together an effective demonstration.

Each seminar is different. Mountain Quest takes place in the mountains outside of Blowing Rock, NC and consists of 3 days of training and camping. Winter Quest takes place over 2 days at our dojo and there is no overnight component. Please see the Mountain Quest page on our website for more information on that seminar.

If you get a chance to work with Hardee Merritt, you are getting the opportunity to train with one of the best in the game right now. On top of that, the people at his dojo are just wonderful human beings. If you have thought about trying, or getting back into, martial arts.....you have to try Chapel Hill Quest.

Our family goes here for their Might Dragons class - our girls (4 & 6) love the class! The instructors do a great job with this age group and we have been quite impressed. Well ran dojo as well.

My entire family of 5 trains at the Chapel Hill Quest Center. We consider it to be one of the best things we have ever discovered. The quality of curriculum and instruction is amazing, providing fun and valuable learning for us all. The fitness classes are adaptable to any level of ability and are welcoming to beginners and veterans alike. The community of instructors and students is incredibly supportive, enthusiastically reveling in each others successes both in and outside the dojo. This is an incredible place that fosters personal growth in fun and encouraging ways.
