The above people are the only ones who currently wear an accredited Black Belt from Shihan Denny Shaffer. When a Black Belt quits or is dismissed from the Red Dragons, They automatically loose their accreditation. There is no such thing as an inactive Black Belt. You don't wear the rank, you perform the rank. The Black Belt is not a graduation certificate. It is in fact, a beginners certificate for continuing education. When the education ends so does the accreditation.
