On the Spirit of Giving
I am really proud of the present we had made for our students this year.
These beautiful gifts serve not only as beautiful ornaments, but also awesome Vision tools for students to keep their eyes on their Blackbelt Leader Goal date!
Special thanks to the great Mrs. Rebecca Bar-Av for helping me bring this Vision to life with her mad skills!
If you haven’t gotten yours yet, make sure you pick it up this week in class!
Speaking of gifts, and the spirit of giving, we also designed beautiful gift certificates for our students to gift their friends.
These are a real $300 value, and worth so much more than that.
Thank you to my son, the great Shihan Harley Del Castillo, for his help in me bringing this idea to life with his skills.
Students, be sure to get a couple to give your best friends.
If you are reading this and don’t have a friend at KMMA yet, I’ve got one for you too!
And speaking of skills, the best gifts really are those that keep on giving.
It’s why I love our Blackbelt Leadership Program and believe every family should have it.
Unlike most gifts, that tarnish, tatter, are outgrown, or otherwise rendered useless relatively quickly and usually within the year,
the training of our Blackbelt Leadership Program equips people for life.
It is an investment that yields the greatest dividends, because it prepares students to survive and thrive the inevitable challenges of life, while also empowering them with the gifts of leadership, public speaking and other success skills, along with the Blackbelt Superpowers of Focus, Respect, Discipline, Confidence, Gratitude and Vision, the principles of courtesy, modesty, integrity, perseverance, self control and indomitable spirit, the qualities of speed, focus, power, accuracy, intensity and excellence, and the peace that comes from knowing one can defend oneself and one’s family too…
Maybe I am a little biased.
After all, I have been a martial artist for over 40 years and, more importantly, have been building our program at Krav Maga Martial Arts for over 23, I’ve watched my kids and now grandson grow up in it, as well as so many other confident and competent Blackbelt Leaders along the way- many who have gone on to leadership position in the military, industry, ministry and are making a positive difference in others’ lives around the world, and many who are still around and helping us do so through the Mission and Vision of KMMA today.
I know first hand what my program can do.
So yes, I am biased a little, I have to be candid with you.
And, so long as I am being so transparent, that’s my greatest gift of all.
As sure as I am that an investment in my KMMA Blackbelt Leadership Program is the greatest gift anyone could ever give themself or their family, it’s also true that watching the kids (and adults) that are my tribe grow in their skills, attitudes, aptitudes and leadership is an amazing gift for me.
There is no greater feeling than promoting Blackbelt Leaders and watching them win at life!
Thank you.
