[Belted Owl symbolism: The purple belt is the highest achievement of our martial art. The golden owl symbolizes wisdom more precious than gold. Holding in each talon are the two worlds, physical and spiritual, that wisdom maintains in balance. The chevron on the owl’s breast shows ascension to a higher order.]
