Our Mission
Our mission is to create confident and competent Blackbelt Leaders, prepared to survive and thrive in any situation- and empowered to lead, where they’re at and into their futures.
Today I want to break that down a little.
First, we create confident and competent Blackbelt leaders.
They’re competent in their martial art and self protection skills, and also in leadership, communication and other life and leadership skills too.
This equips them for confidence in all of these areas too.
So does being a part of a great tribe of other positive, encouraging and empowering people.
All of this equips Blackbelt Leaders for success in life!
When we say that students are prepared to survive and thrive in any situation, we are referring to self defense skills, but also the other challenges that life throws us too.
We equip and develop the mental, physical and emotional skills that prepare students for the inevitable challenges of life and leadership.
They develop grit and resilience and a positive mental attitude.
These are attributes that help leaders prosper in situations that would shut others down.
Which leads to empowered to lead.
First we prepare students to lead well in their current roles- children at school and other environments.
They first learn and develop self leadership skills. We call them Blackbelt Superpowers, and these include Focus, Respect, Discipline, Confidence, Gratitude and Vision.
And we equip them in leadership, public speaking, communication and team building skills that will prepare them to lead into their future too; for success in school, career and relationships, in both their personal and professional lives.
And adults develop leadership skills to use in their current roles and goals too, with work and family, and also develop skills that serve them well in preparation for positions of increased responsibility and leadership in their futures too!
Got this text from Dr. Thomas Beachkofsky this weekend:
We are a leadership development academy, that also happens to teach the most practical self defense.
