I’m feeling the AFN VIBE!!! So whoever can answer this question will get 100 rep points!!! So here’s the question: Throughout his adult life, Elvis had a keen interest in martial arts and studied diligently! One of the highlights of his personal life was the achievement of the rank of 8th degree black belt in the art of Kenpo Karate. On what day, month and year was he promoted to this rank?

How about September 4 1974

This is absolutely correct!!! He received his 8th degree black belt from the international kenpo karate association on September 4 1974 on the recommendation of ed Parker in Las Vegas Nevada
 
Elvis Presley received his 8th Degree San Black Belt certificate from Master Rhee, at a private ceremony. The presentation took place on September 16, 1974 at Master Rhee's studio in Memphis.

The awards presentation was very 'low key' in comparison to other events that involved Elvis.

Elvis accepted his award in witness of his fellow students and their families. The photograph was signed and inscribed 'Kang Rhee, Karate Instructor of Elvis Presley, 8th Degree Black Belt PaSaRyu Karate, September 16th 1974, Memphis Tennessee, U.S.A'. penned by Master Rhee in black ink.

The photo was previously on display at Master Rhee studio in Memphis.
