The Foundation Is Being Laid
KMMA Family,
As we prepare to move into our new 3,300 square foot Training Headquarters and celebrate 25 years of Blackbelt Leadership, we made a decision.
If we are going to build the future…
We are going to build it right.
Premium Swain / Zebra flooring.
A full professional mirror wall.
A training environment worthy of the next 25 years of Blackbelt Leaders.
So we invited a handful of our long-time leaders and VIP families to consider becoming Founding Legacy Partners in this build.
The first four to step forward were:
The Bohn Family, Dr. Saroja Medidi, Dr. Mike Reisman
The Kapourellos Family, Sensei Ret Tanner
I am deeply grateful.
Not just for the investment.
But for what it represents.
Leadership.
Ownership.
Belief in the mission.
There are 12 Founding Legacy Partner spots available.
5 are now filled.
I fully expect the remaining spots will be filled by families who understand that this isn’t a donation.
It’s participation in the physical foundation of the next 25 years.
If you feel inspired to be one of the Founding 12, you can learn more here:
And stepping up doesn’t only look one way.
Spring Break Camp (March 30 – April 3) will be something special this year.
Campers will train the first two days in the old dojo…
and the final three days in the new one.
They will literally train through the transition.
3 hours of Krav Maga daily.
Leadership training.
Games.
Ninja Trix.
Superhero training.
Limited to 30 campers.
This is not daycare.
It is Blackbelt Leadership Camp.
Register here: Spring Break Camp
Krav Camp is coming next month.
Registration must happen before March 15.
These camps accelerate growth in a powerful way.
Train alongside Blackbelts!
Push past comfort.
Level up.

This Saturday, Feb 21, Shihan Carolyn will be teaching KMMA Kenpo.
She has trained with me for 16 years.
She is a 5th Degree Blackbelt, with her concentration in KMMA Kenpo Karate.
She once sat on the benches watching her son before stepping onto the mat herself.
Now she is a fierce warrior, master instructor, and highly successful technology leader by day.
I am proud of her.
And on February 27, we gather for Family Appreciation Night — free for all students and guests.
Because culture matters.
This is a season of stepping up.
Some are building.
Some are training.
Some are serving.
All are leading.
With gratitude,
Grand Master Stephen Del Castillo
More details coming on all of these.
By email and on Skool!
I am grateful for each and all of you. The next evolution will be the best evolution!
Proud to have you with us!
