For Those Seeking Even More

January 24, 2026 by KMMA

Hi Team KMMA,

One of the questions I’m asked most often is:

“Is there a way to train more?”

More focus.
More depth.
More pressure-testing.
More leadership application.

The answer is yes — and it’s something we’re formally opening now.

Introducing ETC — Elite Training Course

ETC is a higher-level training experience designed for students who want to go beyond our already-strong Blackbelt Training and Blackbelt Leadership programs.

This is not extra classes for the sake of doing more.
It’s more intentional training for students who want to be coached harder and grow faster.

ETC focuses on:

  • Advanced skill development

  • Smaller-group instruction

  • Pressure testing and application

  • Leadership under fatigue and stress

  • A clearer pathway toward CIT and instructor development

Because of the level of training involved:

  • Students must be enrolled in Blackbelt Training or Blackbelt Leadership

  • ETC is application-based, not automatic

This keeps the standard high and the environment focused.

Who ETC Is For

ETC is ideal for:

  • Teens and adults who want deeper mastery

  • Students who enjoy being challenged

  • Leaders who want more responsibility and growth

  • Those considering future CIT or instructor roles

How to Learn More

If this sounds like something you’d like to explore, the next step is simple:

👉 Talk with Sensei Allie or Sensei James
They’ll walk you through what ETC involves and help you decide if it’s the right fit.

This is optional.
Your current training remains outstanding.

But for those who want more, ETC is where we’ll be training next-level focus, skill, and leadership.

Train smart,
Train with purpose,

— Grandmaster Steve
