Our Story
Our video tells our story. We believe being a black belt is MORE than just learning to punch and kick, or perform kata or self-defense. We believe in helping our school owners and instructors to create Black Belt Leaders in Life, men and women of integrity and good moral character who are leaders in their homes, businesses, and communities.
We are a professional development Association, focused on the business side of martial arts, providing resources, tools, and instruction in communication, sales & marketing, classroom management, staff training, and business management.
