New Saturday Schedule
So, to better serve you, there are a few minor modifications to the rest of the schedule too. They’re really minor but will be really helpful.
But do me a favor, read the rest of this email first and then you can check the rest out at the end, because I’m particularly excited about the new Saturday schedule and wanted to make sure I share that with you today.
As you may know, my Certified Instructor Training (CIT) classes help you and your children develop leadership, public speaking, teamwork and other great life success skills.
The CIT is included as part of the Blackbelt Leadership Program and is the secret sauce that makes KMMA Sensei so great!
Some will become Sensei for KMMA and help bring up the next gen of KMMA Blackbelt Leaders! But the truth is, the entire Blackbelt Leadership Program, including the CIT, is remarkably effective at creating amazing leaders in whatever calling the kids or adults) do!
I am so proud of them and so proud of and excited for you!
3 important things are happening to make CIT EVEN BETTER than it’s been before!
1. Starting this week, I will be teaching from an organized rotating curriculum that will become the CIT handbook. Many of you already have great leadership notebooks full of great handouts and notes from our CIT classes together thus far! But starting Saturday, we’ll be creating the official KMMA CIT Manual that I plan to have published for future generations. You get to be a part if the creation of it! Maybe I’ll even feature you in it!
2. This weekend kick-off is going to be amazing! Sensei James of KMMA Port Richey has committed to bringing his whole Blackbelt Leadership program with him too!
3. I tweaked the Saturday schedule to support the mission! We’ll be teaching CIT every Saturday and, just like we ask you to make 2-3 classes per week, I am going to invite you to join us 2-3 Saturdays per month. Of course you can come every week if you want to too. 🙂
Here is the new Saturday schedule effective immediately!
0900-0945. Blackbelts!
0945-1030. Certified Instructor Training (CIT)
1030-1130. Sophomore/Juniors
1130-1230. Basic/Freshmen

p.s. thanks for being patient. here’s the new Land O Lakes schedule, effective Saturday. 
The other day I spoke to a young man who struggles with anxiety.
I think this is not such a rare problem these days.
It’s not that youth actually have more to be worried about; but it is that these things are in their face all of the time.
I gave this man 3 pieces of valuable advice that I want to share with you to share with someone you care about.
1. Try to limit the time on social media, news and other bad news pedlars. As I Have already alluded too, things aren’t actually any worse that they’ve ever been. In fact, we probably live in one of the safest and most abundant times in history. The difference is that the media outlets have made fear mongering an art form, and our youth are the victims of it.
2. Focus on the future, on the blessings and on what you want more of. What’s wrong is always available; but so is what’s right! And we get more of what we focus on!
3. Purpose and productivity help vanquish anxiety. When I feel anxious, I take massive action towards my mission and goals and it helps me feel confident again. I urged this young man to do the same…
And I also shared with him a simple truth.
Everyone feels anxious sometimes. Everyone feels fear sometimes.
Heck, the term “imposter syndrome” didn’t even exist when I was young; we just called that fear too.
But everyone deals with it.
The difference between those that excel and those that are paralyzed comes from what they do about it.
Winners charge into fear, take massive action and create confidence and results from that action.
It’s not that they’re aren’t afraid. It’s that they saddle up anyway.
And, over time, their confidence outweighs their fear- at least in that area.
Helping people defeat fear and create confidence is one of our forte here at Krav Maga Martial Arts.

I don’t care which you choose; I’d just love to help you.

GrandMaster Stephen Del Castillo’s KMMA is an American Martial Arts and leadership development academy that also happens to teach the most practical self defense. Based on Grandmaster Del Castillo’s 40+ years of martial arts experience, the system incorporates the best of Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Kickboxing and Krav Maga technique, training methods and philosophies.
As importantly, the Blackbelt Leadership curriculum draws upon decades of progressive leadership experience and training, academic training in philosophy, communication and psychology, and over 24 years creating confident and competent Blackbelt Leaders. These “products of the product” are now leaders in their academic, business and military careers, as well as right here in our own Blackbelt Leadership Academy.
ALL of our instructors are Blackbelt Leadership graduates of the program; the same one that they now help teach.
Our system not only develops fitness and self defense skills in youth and families, but also focus, respect, discipline, confidence, gratitude and vision- plus character and leadership skills.
We prepare students to survive and thrive in any situation, and empower them to lead- where they’re at and into their futures!
We are a family academy, so parents can join their children on the blackbelt leadership journey- getting in the best shape physically, mentally and spiritually, while also having fun and learning very practical self defense! And, while classes are broken into groups so that each age can get exactly what they need, the whole family gets to train together!
These are just a few of the features that make our American Martial Arts and Leadership Academy so special!
