MDS 501 (Certification)
Certification for First-Time Attendees
Before receiving their Fifth-Degree Black Belt in The Chuck Norris System, a person must complete and become certified in MDS 501 (among other MDS courses). It can be completed anytime between their promotion to First-Degree Black Belt and their promotion to Fifth-Degree Black Belt.
This option is for black belts who have never completed the course and need certification as part of the process of advancing to Master Rank.
