It’s What They Do

When I started the school (our martial arts academy) 24 years ago, and for many years after, it was all about what I did.

   It was about the 20 years of both martial arts, my academic education and also the progressive leadership development I’d had in the military too.

All of that played a part in the program that I developed then, and the one I evolved for many years, leading to the amazing Blackbelt Leadership Program we have today!

But most importantly I got to sow into many great future leaders for the years to follow too.

     And today many of them are confident and competent blackbelt leaders sowing into the next generation of blackbelt leaders at KMMA.

They are the product of the product.

And I’m so proud of them.

So, today, it’s not as much about what I do; though I continue to sow and grow my leaders and the organization, and I’m proud of that too.

       It’s what they do…

Sensei Winston and Sensei Allie both grew up in the dojo (martial arts academy).

    Today they are great blackbelt leaders, and sowing into the next generation of leaders too.

That pic was taken today while they were out doing our community enrichment program for the students at The Nest school.

We are donating 100 hours to community youth, to give back and to share more of what we do.

We are proud and grateful to sow into you and your kids too.

And, by the way, this is the same way that any organization becomes great.

   And it’s also what my Blackbelt Leadership Program teaches future Blackbelt Leaders to do, in whatever calling they’re called to do.

Join us for your 2 week trial and orientation program!

Prepare To Live; Empower To Lead!
